The Freedom Project Network (FPN) carries forward the spirit of the 1964 Freedom Schools by holding space for young people - Freedom Fellows - to share their personal and community struggles, to create healing for themselves and their communities, and to study, train, and act on solutions. We aim to build community and power alongside young Mississippians by providing holistic and liberatory educational experiences.

FREEDOM SUMMER: During the summer, Freedom Project programming expands to whole day intensive sessions with students in core academic subjects, enrichment, and leadership development. Current undergraduate students from around the country, as well as local teachers, join the summer staff as Teacher Advisors. Fellows also travel for experiential learning to cities and places where pivotal moments of the Civil Rights Movement happened and tour different college campuses as part of college access programming. Our Fellows also engage in travel relevant to the ongoing work that they are doing, for example in art, or history, throughout the year.
