And say at the end, the dream is true.” Edwin Markham (1852-1940)
LEAP Forward has a dream that:
All youth will be given the hope and opportunities necessary to become empowered to be the best they can be.
All youth will be afforded the chance to live lives that give meaning to their existence.
All youth and especially minority youth won’t have to walk alone but will be guided by the experiences and lessons of others.
Minority youth from underrepresented ethnic and cultural backgrounds will press past disappointments and strive to see their dreams come to pass because they are encouraged to do so.
Minority youth will learn more about the outstanding accomplishments of other minorities in the math and science career fields and be inspired.
Exposure to technical careers, professionals, and industries will provide a seed that will yield a pool of well prepared resources to meet future demands.
The talents and gifts of their young minds will be captured for the future.
Youth will not only dream but will do and become what they dream.
