TRIBE is a five-year-old social enterprise in Liberia, focused on improving learning outcomes and building a novel an ecosystem that complements and enhances the existing educational opportunities for high school students. The goal is to help ensure these young people develop skills valued by potential employers and that, once employed, they become valued employees.

This proposal seeks to collaborate with the Michigan Ross team to develop a five-year strategic plan (framework) based on a careful analysis of TRIBE’s learning journey to date and its capabilities to bridge foundational learning gaps for in current high school education. The goal would be to revisit TRIBE’s unique value proposition for the Liberian school system, develop an action-based operational plan and use this work to attract increased financial and strategic resources to scale organizational operations. The TRIBE leadership plans to be deeply engaged with the students on the process as it is critical to long-term organizational success.
