  College and high school student counselors provide LEAP’s direct services to younger children. They help with homework, provide emotional support, lead classroom literacy instruction, and teaching swim lessons, cooking classes, computer science, etc. Lots of these resources and services are added and adjusted to the different components of the year (Ex. fall and summer). The neighborhoods served by LEAP have child poverty rates ranging from 35% to 58%, more than three times the Connecticut average of 15%. This is why LEAP prides itself on employing over 200 young people and supporting their efforts to graduate high school and get into and graduate from college. They count on alumni school teachers and principals, nonprofit executives, elected officials, business leaders, and community organizers. In their community center and five neighborhood-based sites, they provide children with a welcoming place to learn, explore and grow, while offering teens and young adults a platform to find their voice and become leaders and role models. Since its founding, LEAP has grown to become a trusted community institution serving and empowering over 1,000 local young people annually. Show less
