Freedom House is a community based nonprofit organization with a long history of service to Boston’s urban communities. Our mission is to promote educational excellence, economic self-sufficiency, community engagement and social justice in Boston’s most distressed urban neighborhoods. We achieve our mission through the provision of: targeted educational programs (REACH Institute), civic engagement programming (the Snowden Center for Civic Engagement and Action) and community resources for life long learning. Situated in Grove Hall on the Roxbury/Dorchester line, Freedom House has an extraordinarily rich heritage of addressing issues of educational achievement and social justice.
