Parents and family members are the most important partners in their children’s education. The Freedom Schools program offers parents and family members the support and skills they need to help their children succeed. Caregivers are required to demonstrate their commitment to the program and to their children’s education and development by becoming actively involved in the daily Freedom Schools program activities.

Parents, family members, and community members are invited to serve as read aloud guests during Harambee!, assist in the classroom, on the playground and during meals, plan and chaperone field trips, and support the children's social action and community service projects. Family members also participate in weekly workshops where they learn about the educational and social development of children and gain the necessary skills to empower themselves and their families to succeed.

This orientation meeting will serve to officially welcome children and their families to The Listening: Freedom School, allow them to meet their Freedom School staff, and much more!
