LEAP
We are currently accepting applications for our summer residential program! The Leadership Education Advocacy Program -or LEAP- provides youth ages 14-21 the chance to connect with friends, learn blindness skills, build confidence, and prepare for their transition to higher education or to enter the workplace.
LEAP is divided into four two-week, themed sessions:
Block 1: Razzle Dazzle (June 8-June 21)
Block 2: Kick It Into Gear (June 22-July 3)
Mid-Summer Break: July 4-July 12
Block 3: Beyond the Block (July 13-July 26)
Block 4: Don't Forget About LEAP (July 27-August 9)
