Welcome to LEAP | Present LEAPS

"I can't stop thinking about LEAP; it excites me, and I believe in it. I love the way LEAP intends to break down barriers with our own neighbors before we reach out to a global partner. Imagine what could be accomplished in our own nation if kids began to really connect to each other. There is so much potential here! I know the dreamer in me says things like, "This could change the world;" but I really do believe, Lauren, that LEAP has the potential to do that."

"I think this program has been a great experience for myself and the teens here at the club.  It has taken some of our teens to places they have never been and have opened them up like I never imagined they would. It has allowed me to see the amazing qualities that some of these teens have to offer. I can’t wait to hear about the trip to Africa and hope that next year will be bigger and better. Thank you."

"This program helped me to face my fears of public speaking. It taught me that listening is part of being a good leader.  I also learned about teamwork. The program opened my eyes to the things I need to work on, like listening and trust."

“LEAP defines me in multiple ways. This group defines my humanitarian spirit, my will to help the community and make a difference in the world. This group defines my desire to give everyone a chance no matter who they are or where they came from. LEAP helped me realize that what my parents gave me, and what my town gave me, will help me to pursue my dreams. It will aid me through college, through my future jobs, and through life in general. LEAP showed me that hard work and perseverance will always pay off in the end. This group gave me the motivation to take advantage of everything life has to offer. I am proud to know these young philanthropists and hopefully other people will recognize their great contribution to society too. They are truly the diamond in the rough. I could never repay them for what they did for me and my future. “
