LEAP believes successful leaders are grounded in strong, vibrant communities. Through comprehensive leadership training and organizational development programs and workshops, LEAP promotes the cultivation of new community leaders, strengthens the effectiveness of existing community-based organizations and establishes a supportive network for mutual assistance, resource sharing, and collaborative problem solving.”

The impact of LEAP's training goes beyond its initial delivery. Our model trains community leaders so that they can, in turn, develop and empower others. Developed in response to the urgent needs of rapidly emerging Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities, this long-range strategy works to build community infrastructure and mobilize a national network of AAPI leaders.
