Leap for Education
About
LEAP for Education is a Salem nonprofit that helps underserved students reach social and economic mobility through personal, educational and career growth. It runs programs from middle school through college, including Dream MORE and Expanding Horizons for younger students, Career and Education Centers and a Summer Work Program for high schoolers, and post-secondary career services. Advisors provide personalized academic, financial, social-emotional and career guidance aimed at success after graduation.
The organization was once known as Salem CyberSpace, and its long reach shows in alumni such as Andrison, who began coming for homework help in middle school while living in an apartment above the program space. LEAP staff helped him with financial aid forms and college essays, and he later returned to mentor a new generation of students. Volunteers, interns, donors and a business partner network support the work alongside staff and an alumni network.
