Be a reading buddy during this City Wide One Great Day of D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything and Read). We need one buddy for every scholar to spend an hour sharing books and enjoying time with a scholar. It is a wonderful opportunity to share your love of reading. Volunteers are welcome to stay after reading time to enjoy working with a scholar on an craft activity. Connecting scholars to a broader community is a critical part of the work that we do together.
We have 16 sites throughout Charlotte. Look for opportunities, register, agree to the Child Protection Policy and sign up on our VolunteerHub Portal: http://freedomschoolpartners.volunteerhub.com/events/index.

Mission Statement
To engage, educate and empower children to succeed in school and in life through quality, year-round educational enrichment programs.
Description
Our community challenge: Every child has the potential to succeed; not every child has the opportunity. The Freedom School Partners solution: Freedom School Partners gives children three fundamental resources needed to develop their potential: 1. Literacy skills 2. Social Emotional skills needed to make good decisions and 3. A community that believes in them. Freedom Schools Partners’ impact extends to transform college student interns into advocates for children and inspire them to be future leaders, and to deepen the community’s investment in children. Our programs: Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools programs are six-week summer literacy and character building programs led by college student interns. Freedom School Partners serves children who most need and yet can least afford summer learning opportunities. We believe in children, so children will believe in themselves.
