Mission Statement
The LEAP Foundation helps high school students, college students, and recent graduates, get a "7 year LEAP on success." LEAP does this by hosting an annual week-long LEAP Leadership Program at UCLA where the curriculum is based upon the experience of those who themselves have accomplished a great success - both professionally and personally. LEAP is a non-profit organization committed to educating young adults in the value of goal-setting, effective communication, and the invaluable power of mentorship - all of which are essential in helping today’s youth succeed, yet often omitted from most formal educational systems.
