LEAP Connections to Campus and Community

LEAP connects with many campus and community entities. We do so through community partnerships, the LEAP Advisory Board, and the Community Advisory Board.

Community partnerships

LEAP works with the following community agencies and organizations through service projects and informational outreach:

  • Area elementary schools
  • The “See You at the U” project with Northwest Middle School
  • The “LEAP to the U” project with West High School
  • A tutoring partnership with the AMES School
  • Food drives for Crossroads Urban Center
  • University Neighborhood Partners’ Youth Education Success Committee
  • The Utah Humanities Council’s VENTURE program
  • The LEAP Year Celebration for parents of LEAP students
