Freedom School is a partnership between the Children’s Defense Fund and One Church One School to provide a literacy-rich summer program. Freedom School serves elementary and high school students in a five-week program. The program integrates reading, conflict resolution, and social action in a literacy-based curriculum that promotes social, cultural and historical awareness. Primarily college age young people, called servant leaders who are committed to making life better for children, staff Freedom School. Freedom School is a direct service model designed to ensure that no child is left behind, and that every child has a Healthy Start, Head Start, Safe Start, and a Moral Start through Freedom School.
