Programs

House of Miriam NJ partnered with the New Ark Freedom School and the Children’s Defense Fund in summer 2024 on a Freedom School program in Newark. House of Miriam NJ supported K-2 activities. This program was supported by a grant from the State of New Jersey Dept. of Community Affairs.

This summer, our scholars participated in a range of activities including academic enrichment, gardening and nutrition, and field trips. Check out photos from this year’s program!

Freedom School continues during the school year at the Thirteenth Avenue School. Students will receive tutoring support and weekend field trips. Our program offers parent engagement as well.
