Charlottesville Freedom School
What We Do
Freedom Schools, an initiative of the Children’s Defense Fund, are rooted in the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer project.
Replicated in locations across the country, Freedom Schools offer a 6-week summer program aimed at developing K-12 students literacy skills through culturally relevant practices, community engagement, and civic engagement.
The 2024 Charlottesville Freedom School is on hiatus.
