Leadership and Educational Advancement Program

LEAP is a mentoring and tutoring program that serves the underprivileged schools of 75th Street Elementary School and Bethune Middle School in South Central promoting a college going mentality and demonstrating that success is possible through education. LEAP creates a safe space where students can learn and grow to be successful individuals. We provide tutoring in all subject areas and help accommodate students' needs to help them succeed academically. LEAP also exposes them to college and social issues through our mentoring program with our volunteers that consist of college field trips, discussions, fun and educational activities. We ultimately provide a strong, supportive, and nurturing community to tear down perceived barriers the students might face to reach their goals and aspirations.
