Description Interest
LEAP’s mission is to develop the strengths and talents of young leaders who implement year-round, community and school-based programming designed to achieve positive academic and social outcomes for children living in high poverty urban neighborhoods. Since 1992, LEAP has led the movement to provide children and youth with opportunities to thrive in all areas of their lives. LEAP reaches into neighborhoods that are laden with a shortage of positive resources, and we empower the children and youth of these communities to be positive resources themselves. The very essence of LEAP stands for the primary components of a developing student’s life: Leadership teaches students to make careful and safe choices; Education serves as the tool to make and pursue dreams; Athletics, arts and other cultural experiences bring meaning and confidence into life; and Partnerships bring families, schools and community organizations together to create and sustain a landscape ripe for leadership, education and enrichment—for ALL children.
