Digital Literacy with Microsoft
This year, Rebound Liberia is partnering with Microsoft to bring basic digital literacy to girls in Liberia. In a premier partnership with Microsoft, Rebound Liberia will be having computer training courses led by Rebound Liberia staff and volunteers. These sessions will include trainings on Microsoft Office Suite, and Digital Marketing.
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 of topics such as sexual reproductive health, drugs and substance abuse, financial literacy, etc sexual and reproductive health, career planning, and alcohol and substance abuse prevention.
College and Career Exploration
At the core of Rebound Liberia’s programming is exposure to career opportunities. This year’s LeadHers Program will introduce program participants to entrepreneurs in Liberia who will be a part of a zoom panel. Following this entrepreneurship panel, the participants will get a chance to come up with their own business ideas and pitch in Rebound Liberia’s very first Shark Tank Competition for a chance to win some seed funding.
