At the Children's Defense Fund, they believe in nurturing lifelong learners and advocates for progress. Their commitment to children and youth is evident in their annual events, such as the CDF Freedom Schools National Training, where educators, advocates, and youth leaders come together to equip themselves with tools and knowledge. With a focus on racial and economic justice, they foster collaboration and inspire action for a more equitable future. Through their work, they strive to create a nation where every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive and make a positive impact on the world.
