The Freedom Hill Coalition, launched in the summer of 2019, provides ongoing opportunities to connect in imagining an equitable public education system. We are committed to building spaces, structures, and institutions that transform existing systems of power.

We stand on Freedom Hill to build our new future together.

CREED Academy is an opportunity for North Carolina public school educators, students, parents, and community members to develop local leadership and advocacy through web-based professional development experiences.

This dynamic professional learning opportunity supports fellows in the design and implementation of individual projects that work to urgently disrupt pressing educational inequities in North Carolina. While remaining in their educational field or profession, fellows will receive ongoing mentorship and support to design and carry out their projects.

With the support of the John M. Belk Endowment, CREED is leading an initiative called Listening to the NC10. This effort, in partnership with EdNC, myFutureNC, and The Hunt Institute, seeks to have conversations with all 10 HBCUs, the leadership of each college and university, and ultimately lift up the legacies to increase the statewide prominence of the NC10.
