LEAP Organization

Our vision is to implement sustainable programs that equip and empower youth with the knowledge and resources they need to improve their decision making to lead healthy, productive lives.

Our positive youth development program views young people as “resources” who have much to offer rather than as “problems” that need to be treated or fixed. Our vision is to encourage youth to be productive citizens with a foundation of faith, hope, and love.

All young people need supports and opportunities to make a successful transition to adulthood. The focus of the positive youth development approach is to help youth acquire the knowledge and skills they need to become healthy and productive adults. The LEAP Organization builds on young people’s strengths and recognizes their unique contributions by providing holistic mentoring, case management, counseling, career development, and community service learning opportunities for youth
