“Because of LEAP, I am a stronger person. LEAP taught me not to get attitudes and fights in school and at LEAP. Most of all LEAP taught me how to work together with other people.”

I really think LEAP has helped me be a better student and be more mature. My teacher liked mature and intelligent kids. That's why because of LEAP I am a better student.”

LEAP is like family to our kids… My kids have done, seen things and gone places that I would not have been able to provide… I used to say I’m a single parent, but I’m not a single parent. LEAP shares parenting with me.

Because of LEAP, I am more disciplined because I must fulfill the responsibilities of being a LEAP counselor and a student. The kids in my group remind me what is silly and fun about life, which is helpful in contrast to the seriousness of student life and academics. Because of LEAP, I am aware of what is important and valuable to me and how to achieve these things.”
– Jacques, Senior Counselor

LEAP is somewhere I can do all of my homework plus more. I am still here because LEAP can help me reach my main goal which is to be a basketball player. By helping me to get smarter in school so I can get a scholarship. And maybe if I get into the WNBA, I can get money to donate to LEAP. So that other kids can have the opportunity to be in LEAP.”
– Terri, age 12
