Our Story

Freedom school is a 6-week summer literacy program created by the Children’s Defense Fund. The CDF Freedom Schools® program seeks to build strong, literate, and empowered children prepared to make a difference in themselves, their families, communities, nation and world today. By providing summer and after-school reading enrichment for children who might otherwise not have access to books, the CDF Freedom Schools program plays a much needed role in helping to curb summer learning loss and close achievement gaps — and is a key part of CDF’s work to ensure a level playing field for all children. In partnership with local congregations, schools, colleges and universities, community organizations, and secure juvenile justice facilities the CDF Freedom Schools program boosts student motivation to read, generates more positive attitudes toward learning, increases self-esteem and connects the needs of children and families to the resources of their communities.

Morgan Park Freedom School will take place from June 24, 2019 to August 2, 2019 at John D. Shoop Math, Science, and Technology Academy. Take a risk and support a scholar this summer for 6 weeks of enrichment in Morgan Park area of Chicago.
