LEAP Program
Learn Evaluate Achieve Play (LEAP) exists to provide academic enrichment opportunities to foster and adopted youth. Studies show that higher education is often a precondition for the economic independence and basic survival of former foster youth and adopted youth. The LEAP summer program seeks to positively impact participants by:
- Providing opportunities for young people to develop relationships with, and learn from mentors with strong records of personal and/or academic achievement;
- Nurturing the scholastic abilities of our participants by providing them with techniques that will make them better readers and thinkers in their traditional classroom settings;
- Challenging them to think critically about their own goals and the role that education plays in the achievement of those goals.
