LeadHers Vacation Program

The LeadHers Vacation program is Rebound Liberia’s premier educational enrichment program. We bring together 40 high school girls, Mondays-Fridays for a period of one 4 month . Originally a basketball vacation program, the primary focus of the 2020 and 2021 LeadHers program shifted to computer literacy due to the 2019 Corona Virus outbreak.

In partnership with several organizations such as Microsoft, Rebound Liberia presents: a vacation program that incorporated basic digital literacy, personal development workshops, and college & career exploration panels.

Digital Literacy with Microsoft

In partnership with Microsoft’s Community Development Team, Rebound Liberia works to increase access and strengthen young women’s digital skill sets. We host sessions on Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel. We work with girls with little to no knowledge of these platform and at the end of the program they are able to deftly navigate these platforms.

Personal Development Workshops

Liberian youth are an especially vulnerable population as a result of the growing drug epidemic, increasing youth unemployment, and increased exposure to sexual exploitation. The personal development workshops will focus on topics such as sexual reproductive health, drugs and substance abuse, financial literacy, public speaking, etc  


College and Career Exploration

At the core of Rebound Liberia’s programming is exposure to career opportunities. The LeadHers Program introduces participants to entrepreneurs in Liberia and exposes them to post secondary opportunities. Following the entrepreneurship panel, the participants will get a chance to come up with their own business ideas and pitch in Rebound Liberia’s Shark Tank Competition for a chance to win seed funding.
