About Us
​
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Cleveland Freedom Project is a collective of youth-led cultivators enabling a new generation of disruptors, dreamers, and drivers of social and economic justice. We foster conditions for growth to equip youth with the tools to reimagine and transform their own lives.
Growth is the outcome.
Our mission is to cultivate the next generation of disruptors, dreamers, and drivers of social and economic justice.
Through our programs and initiatives, we foster a culture of growth and empowerment, helping young people to develop the skills and confidence they need to reimagine and transform their own lives.
We believe that when young people are given the opportunity to lead and create change, they can transform the world for the better.
