Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from LEAP! 🎄🎁🎅🏽
We had a blast during our Christmas party. We decided to do the “say the word on beat challenge” and here is how it went. Let us know who you think said the word on beat the best! 😂

We hope you all have a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year! ✨

Every donation counts, and your support creates real change in our community! Your generous gift today will help us raise $40,000 by year’s end, providing LEAP with flexible support that helps us navigate challenges, seize new opportunities, and grow our capacity to deliver high-quality, culturally responsive programming to many more students from low-resource families in the Chicago metropolitan area.

As we get closer to Giving Tuesday, we’re reflecting on the lives changed through your support. One of our scholars Alexander shared with us that our program not only helped him face his fears of public speaking, but gave him the confidence to speak in public well. He is one of many who’ve found confidence through LEAP’s programs. Your gift helps continue this ripple of transformation. 🏆️⁠

Every day, LEAP helps young people take steps toward their dreams. Meet Charlisa Pugh - these were her thoughts while working at Lumity. Her feedback reminds us why this work matters. Together, we can continue making stories like this possible.⁠

Thank you for joining us to help young people build the necessary skills, knowledge, and confidence to secure a brighter future. 🌟⁠

LEAP has moved offices!
After almost 12 years at N Wabash Ave we have decided to make the LEAP to the Impact House!

Impact House is a 40,000 square-foot work club specifically for the city's Funders and Changemakers. The purpose of Impact House is to connect, serve and support Chicago's granting organizations and impact leaders. Its inclusive member community is committed to working together, intentionally sharing ideas and resources, to operate with greater efficiency while advancing Chicago's Impact goals.

LEAP is excited to be a part of this innovative community where we hope to learn from our fellow members and build collaborative relationships that will help us improve as an organization. 🌟
