Youth Organizing

912 Freedom School is a free program for young people ages 13-18 interested in creating more inclusive, just, communities where everyone can thrive. Through conversations, hands-on workshops, and fun! participants (aka Freedom Fellows) develop relationships, knowledge and skills to build their individual and collective power as young people in Savannah.
The mission of 912 Freedom School is to be a joyful place where young people can build connections with one another, call attention to issues that they are passionate about and deepen their understanding of the world around them. The idea for 912 Freedom School originated from young people in Deep Center’s Action Research Team (ART) and it continues to be co-designed and co-led by the young people in ART.
