Kairos Freedom Schools Is Making A Difference!
Kairos Freedom Schools of Virginia is one of over 170 nationally recognized Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) Freedom Schools Programs. Our mission is to create a safe space where children develop a love of reading and believe in their ability to make a difference in themselves, their families, communities, their country and their world, resulting in the next generation of highly literate and socially engaged leaders.
Since 1995 the CDF Freedom Schools program has been committed to providing a unique vision of education, rooted in the cultural traditions of literacy, service and advocacy.
Kairos Freedom Schools of Virginia continues this legacy by providing a free, six week summer literacy enrichment program, that fosters a sense of self-worth, helps children feel valued, boosts their motivation to read, creates more positive attitudes towards learning and connects children and families to resources of their communities. Each year the Kairos Freedom Schools serves 50 scholars and their families. Over 200 children and their families in South Hampton Roads have benefited from Kairos Freedom Schools’ program. We believe in our children so that they can believe in themselves.
Your generous gift to Kairos Freedom Schools of Virginia will secure the future of our children and propel them to endless possibilities. Your commitment will ensure that our scholars are provided with guidance, important educational opportunities and support that will follow them throughout their formative years.
