MR BILL M. ROGERS

Bill Rogers has taken a long, noble, and deliberate path from his humble rural origins outside of Kakata, Liberia to help the underprivileged youth of his country. This journey has included many exciting and rewarding stops along the way, including his life as a former professional track and field runner in Africa to his formal college education and work as a sports performance trainer in America. The most important overriding goal and destination for Bill Rogers, however, is to utilize all that he has learned and return home to make a difference. Therefore, he founded the Bill Rogers Youth Foundation, an organization that seeks to ultimately transform young lives through athletic participation and achievement, as well as fundamental schooling and life guidance. As an ASFA certified master professional personal fitness trainer, Bill Rogers specializes in cardiovascular wellness, muscular strength, endurance, body composition, flexibility, and overall health improvement for his clients. Bill trains both professional athletes and therapy patients in and around greater Los Angeles, California. Furthermore, Bill is currently a member of the Liberian International Athletic Foundation, where he organizes, coordinates, and supervises a great number and variety of sporting activities for youths in several communities throughout the U.S. Mr. Rogers has also worked with the U.S. Justice Department as a rehabilitation and recreation specialist by helping children who have experienced problems with the law. His responsibilities included planning, developing, and implementing the rehabilitative strategy, specialized treatment programs and services for the agency; providing consultation, coaching and mentoring services; and providing technical assistance to program staff, governmental agencies, community organizations and the general public. Now, it is Bill's dream to help Liberian youths discover & develop their natural talents, so that they can positively impact their communities.
