On Teaching at Freire

“Everyone here is supportive of one another. Everybody’s doing it for the kids— there’s no egos. Everybody’s here to help kids be successful, graduate high school, get into college, and graduate college. That is Freire Wilmington’s sole purpose, and everybody who works here understands that and is willing to support each other in helping achieve that goal.”

Freire is a place where people believe in you. If you’re hired here, it’s because they believe you’re talented and you can do this and we want to see you bring something to the table.”
