Gastonia Freedom School holds many fundraisers throughout the school year.

Volunteering
As a center focused on learning in the real world, we welcome people who can share their experience and expertise with our students. We welcome resources from all walks of life, especially those who have a similar background to the students we serve.
Employment
Facilitators are more than teachers–they are mentors, space holders, and play partners. While a background in education is useful, we welcome applicants with diverse experiences who are open to our non-traditional setting.
