Nearly 70 children embarked on a six-week journey of literacy enrichment and college campus immersion at Wake Forest University’s Freedom School. It’s part of a national initiative developed by the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF). Wake Forest’s Freedom School aims to combat summer learning loss while fostering a deep love for reading.
This year’s program runs from June 17 to July 26.
