About L.E.A.R.N

The Leadership Empowerment and Resource Network (formerly known as the Lagos Empowerment and Resource Network) is a youth-oriented non-governmental organisation (NGO) established in 2007.

Our primary focus is on empowering young individuals, families, and communities by providing them with the tools and resources they need to thrive. To actualise key initiatives and projects that solve real-life challenges and developmental issues, LEARN seeks partnerships with other programs implementing institutions and donor organisations. Together, we build sustainable communities and find innovative solutions to personal, social, and economic challenges one community at a time.
In summary, LEARN is more than an NGO; it’s a movement dedicated to empowering young people and creating positive change in communities.

OUR IMPACT

SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAM

This is the flagship programme of LEARN. The main objectives of the Summer School include keeping young people off the streets during the summer holiday, to break barriers for students in public schools by keeping them away from engaging in antisocial behaviour during the summer holiday.

EXCURSION VISITS

We believe in taking education out of the classroom in order to broaden their horizons, students were taken on excursion to Nigerian Stock Exchange, NAHCO, Lagos State Waste Management Authority etc. The objective is to encourage and motivate the students thereby creating innovation into our programmes.

TIME OUT WITH THE YOUTHS

The overall goal of this event is to bring youth together to express and celebrate themselves, give information that will guide them to make good decisions about their career and sexuality and to voice out their concerns.

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

As part of our aim of creating alternative platform for learning, we organized After School Programme where students come in after school hours to be taught Moral and Civic Education, English and Leadership Studies and Vocational Skills training in Fashion Design and Catering.

Scholarship Programme

Under our Indigent Scholarship programme, students from low income backgrounds are offered the opportunity to attend leading educational institutions across the country. This programme affords them the opportunity to attend private schools such as: St. Gregory’s College, Holy Child College and Day Waterman College.

Youth Empowerment Program
