20201 Application Now Open!

Child Defender,

In the words of our founder and President Emeritus, Mrs. Marian Wright
Edelman, "COVID-19 poses an unprecedented public health,
economic, and unemployment crisis across our nation magnifying the
impact of systemic racism, poverty, economic disparities and economic
injustice based on race and gender." Every child needs hope, and
the Children's Defense Fund (CDF) Freedom Schools® program
is designed to give children and families that hope.

The Children's Defense Fund is proud to announce the launch of
our CDF Freedom Schools 2021 Summer Application.

The CDF Freedom Schools program is a literacy and cultural enrichment
program aimed at empowering children, families, and communities to
believe in their ability to make a difference. We are seeking schools,
community organizations, faith-based organizations, institutes of
higher education, or other organizations seeking to empower
change-makers in their communities who would like to host a CDF
Freedom Schools site during summer 2021.

The CDF Freedom Schools program model uses culturally relevant texts
and a research-based curriculum to encourage conversations around
social justice and civic engagement. The impact of the program is
astounding: annual reading assessments have shown that scholars
participating in the program gain an average of eight months in their
literacy skills.

With the launch of the new application, the CDF Freedom Schools team
is proud to announce the following changes to programming:

1. Launch of a completely virtual training series to support 2021
Sponsor Organizations, our Ella Baker Child Policy Training
Institute. In response to the ongoing global pandemic, we will
be prioritizing the safety and well-being of all involved with
the CDF Freedom Schools movement by limiting in-person contact
hours for all orientation and training sessions. 
2. Flexible program operating styles based on the needs of your
community. During the summer of 2021, Sponsor Organizations
have the option to operate in-person, virtual, or hybrid CDF
Freedom Schools programs based on the needs of their community.

To learn more about the application process and financial commitment
to sponsor a 2021 CDF Freedom Schools site, please visit our sponsor
site portal.
