Abstract

Freedom School Partners is a six-week, literacy-rich, summer program that has served the Charlotte area since 2004. What began as a group of 100 scholars in one site, is now more than 400 scholars and includes twelve sites (www.freedomschoolpartners.org). The purpose of this report is to present the external evaluation and findings of the six-week program in the summer of 2022. This evaluation is a joint effort between the Centers for Adolescent Literacies (CAL) and the Center for Educational Measurement and Evaluation (CEME). Both centers are housed at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and have specific roles in the external evaluation. CEME researchers conducted surveys with scholars from ten sites and attempted to collect surveys from all Servant Leader Interns (SLI) and Site Administrative Interns (SAI). The focus of these surveys is to understand the experiences of both scholars and interns. This report will describe the data collection procedures, followed by the quantitative and qualitative scholar results, the quantitative and qualitative intern results, and finally, a discussion regarding conclusions and overarching themes that emerged from the evaluation.
