Yard-Liberia Inc

Youth Alliance for Rural Development in Liberia (YARD-Liberia) was founded in June 2017 in Harbel by Youth Volunteers who decided to solve some of the Liberian communities’ problems and to work in achieving the global goals in their communities. Our organization employs many unique approaches to decode opportunities for young people to stay in their communities and develop themselves. We use the method of educational outreach which include, reaching out to schools, enlightening students about the importance of education, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) symposium. We also create the opportunity for them to have basic computer skills. We also use health outreach by informing community dwellers about sicknesses and their preventive methods. We distribute brochures and fliers with health articles written in them. The organization also empowers youth through a program called community outreach by organizing youth gathering activities such as; leadership workshops, youth discussions, and peace activities. In these gatherings, we invite government officials, stakeholders, and other community actors so that young people can use this platform to dialogue with them while expressing their community needs. Youth Alliance for Rural Development in Liberia is an organization designed to create a self-sustaining generation of youth through education, health, community outreach, youth developmental initiatives, requisite leadership knowledge and skills that will put them on par with other young people across the globe.
