The CDF Freedom Schools® program seeks to build strong, literate, and empowered children prepared to make a difference in themselves, their families, communities, nation and world today. By providing summer and after-school reading enrichment for children who might otherwise not have access to books, the CDF Freedom Schools program plays a much needed role in helping to curb summer learning loss and close achievement gaps — and is a key part of CDF’s work to ensure a level playing field for all children. In partnership with local congregations, schools, colleges and universities, community organizations, and secure juvenile justice facilities the CDF Freedom Schools program boosts student motivation to read, generates more positive attitudes toward learning, increases self-esteem and connects the needs of children and families to the resources of their communities. Since 1995, more than 137,000 preK-12 children have had a CDF Freedom Schools experience and more than 16,000 college students and young adult staff have been trained by CDF to deliver this empowering model.•Guided scholars through daily Integrated Reading Curriculum and related activities•Conducted outreach to obtain guest speakers, field trip venues, and donors•Led morning “Harambee” with cheers, chants, music, and dance•Steered scholars toward full ideation and execution with regard to design and performance logistics for their Grand Finale showcase - taking place before all families and stakeholders at the end of each season•Served as a mentor to uphold the highest example for scholars of all ages
