The Boston Foundation has funded expansion of LEAP programs for a second year. LEAP's Teen Mentor Program also received a technology grant from the Richard and Susan Smith Family Foundation, so that our teens will be able to create 'digital stories' documenting their experiences and response to violence.
As one of six winners out of a pool of 85 candidates, Girls' LEAP prepared for and presented at the Social Innovation Forum's Showcase Event on April 30.
