History of Girls' LEAP

Girls’ LEAP began as a community response to a wave of violence against women and girls in Cambridge in 1994 and 1995. LEAP was co-founded by Deborah Weaver, faculty member in the Department of Physical Education, Recreation, and Athletics at Wellesley College and Peggy Barrett, Education Director of the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center and former Director of the Women's Center at Tufts University.

LEAP offered its first programs in Cambridge in 1997. Since then, LEAP has served over 5,000 girls and young women in Greater Boston neighborhoods.
