LeadHers Development Program
The LeadHers Development program runs in August when the girls are on break from school. Launched in 2020, it was originally a basketball vacation program. The 2020 LeadHers program instead focused on computer literacy due to the 2019 Corona Virus outbreak. In partnership with Microsoft, Rebound Liberia hosted a 2 week program for girls. This program incorporated remote and in person computer training, personal development workshops, and college & career panels. Dynamic guest speakers were invited to speak and motivate the girls during key workshops. 30 young ladies left the program with a greater understanding of Microsoft Suite, a greater sense of self awareness, and friendships developed over the past two weeks.
