Rose and Redwood, LLC is the parent company Rose and Lion Leadership programs.
Erika Hovland Bahij founded Rose and Redwood in 2019, with the vision of helping people nurture their true nature. She immediately launched a line of clothing with 20% or more of profits dedicated to the development of youth leadership programs, with a specific focus on elementary school-aged children. And voila! Rose and Lion Leadership was born!
Social Skills Curriculum for Children
We launched by targeting younger children as the audience for youth leadership programs. Research shows we learn new skills best before age 11 (that’s so young!). And, as a spotter of patterns, Erika noticed there is a fundamental shift in children in 3rd – 5th grade where they are intensely feeling the pressure to conform in order to feel like they belong, while also needing to explore who they are as authentic individuals. Thus the idea to create programs where kids learn to tap into core leadership characteristics such as curiosity, compassion, perseverance, courage, self-empowerment, forgiveness and courage – because these skills transform the world, and because they help people learn to nurture their true nature (authenticity) while meeting the need to feel part of a larger community.
Our company is situated in Bryn Mawr, PA and we currently offer live leadership programs for youth in Philadelphia, the mainline communities (Wayne, Radnor, Ardmore, Narberth, Bala Cynwyd, Malvern), Delaware County and Montgomery County.
Partner for Youth Leadership
We also partner with organizations to create and offer content that can be customized and used in after school programs or camps and provide training on implementing and leading the programs.
