New Partner Spotlight: Nashville Freedom Schools

The Maddox Charitable Fund is happy to partner with the Nashville Freedom Schools this year. The Freedom Schools provides a six-week summer literacy program to African-American, Latinx, and biracial children from at-risk communities. With the theme, “I Can Make a Difference,” young scholars engage with books and enrichment activities that celebrate Black and Latinx heritage and learn from young Servant Leaders that mirror their own life experiences.

The Nashville Freedom Schools would love to have you volunteer this summer! Volunteer opportunities include: reading aloud to youth, mentoring junior interns, and helping to lead classes. If you’re interested in these and other ways to help, please check out their volunteer opportunities.
