WCPC Children's Defense Fund Freedom Schools Program

The Woodlawn Children's Promise Community (WCPC) is a non-profit organization that partners with parents and community members to support children from birth into young adulthood, ensuring holistic development and supporting the path towards college, citizenship and career opportunities. They are supported by founding institutional partners that include the Apostolic Church of God, the University of Chicago and CPS.

This summer the WCPC will partner with the Children's Defense Fund to host the CDF Freedom Schools program in two Woodlawn schools. They will serve children ages 5 to 13 for six weeks and integrate reading, conflict resolution and social action in an activity-based curriculum to promote social, cultural and historical awareness.
