Mission Statement

The Floating Freedom Foundation is dedicated to advancing education and literacy for underserved communities, inspired by the legacy of The Floating Freedom School. We believe in the transformative power of knowledge and work to create accessible, inclusive learning opportunities that empower individuals to break cycles of inequity. Through educational programs, resource distribution, and advocacy, we strive to make lifelong learning a reality for all.

Description

The Floating Freedom Foundation Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to promoting literacy and educational access, particularly for marginalized and historically underserved communities. Named in honor of The Floating Freedom School-a secret school on a steamboat that provided education to enslaved individuals-the foundation carries forward its legacy of resilience and empowerment through learning.

Our initiatives focus on:

  • Literacy Programs: Providing books, tutoring, and reading initiatives to foster a love for learning.
  • Educational Access: Supporting students and educators with free or low-cost educational resources.
  • Community Empowerment: Partnering with grassroots organizations to bring educational equity to communities in need.

At Floating Freedom, we believe that education is a fundamental right, not a privilege. By addressing educational disparities and advocating for literacy, we strive to uplift individuals and communities-one book, one lesson, and one opportunity at a time.
