Calendar

Freedom School is a five-week summer program that combats summer learning loss for children in grades K-8 with limited means. June 23 – July 31, we host a Freedom School site at Rama Road Elementary School, and we invite you to get involved!

Freedom School provides quality summer programs for students in grades K-8 in the Charlotte community. Christ Church assisted in sponsorship and provided volunteers for a Freedom School at Christ Lutheran Church in the summers of 2012 and 2013. In 2014, Christ Church sponsored its first Freedom School at Rama Road Elementary. Sixty-seven children from the school attended the summer program, and over 120 Christ Church parishioners volunteered.

We are always looking for volunteers! Youth are encouraged to serve on our teen board where teens can volunteer two weeks of their time in the classroom and on field trips.
