Second, Pick your diverse partners and unite disparate communities
LEAP builds trusting partnerships among one global and two local communities (one affluent, one non-affluent), each comprised of individuals who through collaboration and leadership are trained to commit to a mission of their choice
LEAP will become the new outreach and will transcend race, age and class to introduce collaborative partnerships to all ages in a ladder approach:
• Elementary students will grow up with a diverse partner for collaborative service work.
• Middle school students will be taught leadership skills and patterns of awareness in partnerships from disparate communities.
• High school students, college students and adults will seize the opportunity to partner together and collaborate to put their education to work in entrepreneurial, innovative, self designed outreach programs that address chronic issues throughout each community.
• Corporations will recognize the benefits of a tool building, personal connection as compared to the ensuing disconnect of material and financial donations.
As a model, LEAP can be used in schools, organizations, religious and non-religious based organizations, non-profits and civic groups.
