Newark students have a story worth telling and it's not the one you've heard. NJ LEEP is here to flip the narrative.
We're on a mission to grow from 450 to 1,000 students a year, but we can't do it alone. Here's how you can get involved:
- Make a donation: www.njleep.org/donate
- Volunteer at our events
- Become an attorney mentor
- Host a field trip or Week-on-the-Job at your office
It's all about creating options and seeing the possibilities of what your life can be. That's the heart of everything we do at NJ LEEP!
