L.E.E.P to College Foundation is shaping today's youth to become right now leaders! Their team creates and supports programs that directly achieve positive outcomes for underrepresented students. Their programs focus on improving high school graduation rate and college acceptance through educational enrichment activities, internships, community engagement, leadership development and parental involvement.  

 

A few things that LEEP is working on now: 

 

• LEEP just started a pilot program with Capitol Heights Elementary School in Prince George’s County. Twenty fifth grade students were selected to participate in six sessions on social-emotional development and skills. The students will be followed until high school graduation to determine if the sessions have a positive impact on their academic and personal lives. Demonstrating the efficacy of the intervention will help with future planning and with funding.

 

• 10 Minutes for MEE webinar format informative and motivational programs - the first and fourth Saturdays of each month through October. Sessions can be viewed live or accessed on the LEEP website / click HERE

 

• College tours to Ohio State, Penn State, University of Maryland and other campuses this summer. Twenty students will participate for no cost due to our funding and the funding of others.

Ways for members to help: 

• Someone to help with press releases.

• Tutoring reading and math in person with Kindergarten through second graders at the LEEP offices ( Largo, MD) on Saturdays for one hour from late July through the start of school (four sessions total). The format will be provided by LEEP. Tutoring will be one or two children in a group.
