Clarksville, TN – April 29th, 2013 marked the 4 Year Anniversary for the LEAP Organization being registered as a 501c3 nonprofit organization. From its humble beginnings, the Clarksville based organization has grown to provide youth development services in Robertson County and Cheatham County.
To celebrate reaching this milestone the organization reached out to Chic Fil A on Wilma Rudolph Boulevard to create an family friendly atmosphere that encouraged board members, staff, volunteers, community partners, parents, and youth in the program to get to know one another.
While the organization selected Daymar and CMCSS to be featured this year, LEAP recognizes that it took the support from a diverse group of churches and organizations such as Faith Outreach Church, First Missionary Baptist Church, Tennessee Commission of Children and Youth, United Way, Parks & Recreation, Miller Motte Technical College, Millan Enterprises, Kohls, Career Center, Workforce Essentials, APSU, NAACP, and the City of Clarksville to reach this milestone.
The L.E.A.P. ORG. provides Holistic mentoring, case management, counseling, career development, and community service learning opportunities for youth. L.E.A.P, which stands for Leadership, Enlightenment, Academic Achievement, and Perseverance, also teaches its members about Outreach, Responsibility, and Growth.
For more information on its positive youth development program that views young people as “resources” who have much to offer rather than as “problems” that need to be treated or fixed call 931.614.0440 or visit www.leaporg.net
