An Investment Worship Making
Statistics show that 81% of scholars who participate in Freedom School avoid summer learning loss. And our own 2022 experience showed only 1 scholar who lost any ground. In addition, according to CDF research, scholars across the country report that Freedom School helps them
- develop a growth mindset
- successfully regulate their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors
- take the perspective of and empathize with others
- cooperate with others, resist inappropriate social pressure, an negotiate conflict constructively
- make constructive choices about personal behaviors and social interactions
We hire quality student interns to teach and mentor scholars. We provide two hot meals plus a snack each day. And we strive to give scholars experiences and activities they wouldn't get elsewhere. This adds up to a cost of $125,000 for a 5-6 week program.
- $12 pays for one day's meals for one scholar or leader
- $300 pays for one scholar's or leader's meals for the summer
- $30,000 pays for all meals for the summer
- $300 pays for books and supplies for one student
- $3600 pays for books and supplies for one classroom
- $2000 pays for one field trip
- $7500 pays the stipend for the Site Coordinator
- $5000 pays for one Student Leader Intern stipend
- $5000 pays for 4 leaders to attend Freedom School training in Kentucky
This is an investment worth making!
