On Giving Tuesday, give the gift of joy to thousands of children across the country. The CDF Freedom Schools program spreads joy by:
Starting each day with Harambee, our energetic and song-filled ritual that celebrates scholars’ accomplishments and centers gratitude.
Filling CDF Freedom Schools program classrooms with high-quality books featuring fun and inspiring characters who look like our scholars.
Helping scholars believe in their ability to make a difference in themselves and in their families, schools, communities, country, and the world.
Training exceptional program staff who come from backgrounds similar to our scholars and who celebrate the joy in each child every day.
When you have joy at the center of your movement, you will see change worth believing in. Join us today by giving the gift of joy.
