The Literary Freedom Project seeks to restore the importance of reading books as an essential tool for creating intelligent, productive, and engaged young people. Towards this goal, LFP publishes Mosaic Literary Magazine; develops literature-based lesson plans and workshops; and hosts the Mosaic Literary Conference, an annual literature-education event.
 

Education
LFP presents workshops (professional development and community centered) that focus on the crucial need for reading and expository writing skills as essential elements for increased cultural identity, vocational prospects, and educational opportunities. LFP also coordinates the placement of teaching artists in schools and out-of-school-time (OST) venues for youth, teachers, and parents.

Mosaic Literary Magazine supplements its editorial content with lesson plans that are developed based on the content of Mosaic. The lesson plans, which are developed for secondary school educators, demonstrate how Mosaic’s content can serve as a connective tool to explore  subjects such as history and social studies while also serving to increase the importance of books and reading.
