Project Overview
The agency approached Brown Sisters Foundation to expand its nationally-recognized Freedom Schools to two additional sites in the summer 2019, thereby expanding total capacity for the program to 140 youth. During the 6-week camp, the program has demonstrated an impact in reducing the learning loss that kids ages K-12, especially low-income children, face during the summer. The dynamic curriculum aligns with the Common Core Standards, focusing on literacy, science, technology, engineering and math activities. The Foundation provided a challenge grant to raise funding for this expansion from new and existing donors.
