“Rebound provides services to durham county youth on short-term suspension from school by focusing on their strengths and resilience so that they may develop the skills, supports, and strategies needed to reconnect with their schools, communities, and families and achieve their goals.”

“In april, rebound hired executive director mike friedman to lead the organization's growth as it looks to improve outcomes by continuing to expand services and community support. This spring, rebound opened the program to 5 days a week, closing a gap in services. New funding for 2017-18 by durham county government will enhance our ability to impact our students. New funding for 2017-18 by governor's crime commission will allow us to hire additional staff to work more closely with families' school personnel. Through a private grant we are going to be able to purchase new computers, scanners and printers to improve students' ability to access coursework.”

“The rebound program provides a supportive environment for high-school students to achieve the following goals: stay up-to-date with schoolwork during short-term suspension identify root causes of suspension, including student behavior and systemic issues address root causes of suspension in order to prevent juvenile crime (and other risky behaviors) during out of school time and prevent future suspensions develop sources of resilience in youth by gaining self-knowledge and improving self-esteem, identifying personal strengths and goals, increasing skills in leadership, conflict management and effective communication skills promote social connectedness by reconnecting youth with families, school staff, and the larger community”
