 Welcome to LEAP Forward, Inc.
"I have a DREAM...." Dr. Martin L. King Jr. August 28, 1963
"Not everyone can be famous but everyone can be great because
greatness is defined by service." - Dr. M. L. King Jr.
Like Dr. Martin L. King Jr. before us, LEAP Forward, Inc. also has a
Dream. A dream for our youth. Our life’s mission is to help and guide
our youth and our goal is to provide them
Hope and
Opportunity.
Our nation as a whole has experienced a decline in youth pursuing math
and science education and careers. LEAP Forward, Inc. programs and
services are available to all youth.
As minority engineers we are intimately aware of the gap that exists
for women and African American. Due to the scarcity of minority youth
in the pipeline aspiring to enter the profession, we want to give back to
our community by sharing our knowledge, opening doors of opportunities, and
introducing possibilities. The potential for youth to
enter careers in math and science is limitless especially since this society
is becoming more technologically dependent and needs competent and talented
professionals. We need a generation of diverse youth (from
underrepresented ethnic and cultural backgrounds) that are prepared to
accept the challenges to engineer a world that is a better place for all of
us. We dream of creating that critical pipeline of talent by promoting
awareness and providing access to programs and services. Out of a mountain
of despair we will hew out a stone of hope.
We touch dreams......Don't let
the dream die.
