Introducing Families on the Move

For as long as we’ve been hosting the CDF Freedom Schools® program, we’ve witnessed children grow in confidence and creativity throughout the summers. And part of what makes the program so effective is the way it engages, not just the scholars, but their families as well.

At the end of each session, the most common feedback we get is from families who wish this kind of support could continue throughout the year.

Well, we’re excited to introduce a new year-round program designed to extend the impact of Freedom School into the school year.

Families on the Move (FOTM) is an expansion of our former Youth on the Move program, providing support to students ages 7–17 and their guardians.

Students will gather for reading and math support, creative exploration, and leadership development three days a week while their guardians participate in their own program, gaining access to resources, community, and tools for personal growth.

Supporting Families 

The evolution of this program reflects a deeper commitment to partnership, collaboration, and support that prioritizes the entire family. With it, we look forward to ensuring what begins in the summer continues all year long, allowing our children, families, and community to thrive together.
