ANNUAL REPORT
“The only purpose of education is not knowledge,
but results-producing action.”Q U O T Ecompi led by the LEAP Foundat ion
I am so proud to see how much the LEAP Foundation has grown since its �rst program in 2008. In the past �ve years, LEAP has grown from our Founders’ passion for helping students, into a healthy nonpro�t impacting the lives of students across the globe.
The 2012 LEAP Program marked our nonpro�t’s 5th youth leadership program. At this event, over 375 students & 60 alumni volunteers converged on the campus of UCLA – making 2012 the largest LEAP to date!
LEAP’s successes would not be possible if it weren’t for the advocates who have been supporting our nonpro�t since the beginning. Whether it is be volunteering as a mentor or sponsoring a student to the program – we greatly appreciate all that you have o�ered LEAP.
At this time, I would like to publically thank, LEAP’s Co-Founder, Dr. Bill Dorfman for all that he has done & continues to do for LEAP. Dr. Bill makes himself available to our team year-round and always is willing to help LEAP in any way possible. As the Executive Director, I couldn’t ask for a better person to work with.
Please explore the 2012 Annual Report as it will provide you with a snapshot of LEAP’s recent successes as well as some insight into several students’ LEAP experience.
In gratitude,
Anthony Granados
The LEAP Foundation is
a 501(c)(3) nonpro�t organization committed to help students from around the world uncover professional and
personal achievement by teaching them the real-world keys to success; such as goal-setting, mentorship,
self-motivation, professionalism, relationship building and e�ective communication skills. All of these skills are
vital to success, yet omitted from most traditional educational systems.
Each Summer, our nonpro�t hosts a week-long
event at UCLA for 450 participants (ages 15-24) from
around the globe. Based upon the student’s age,
they are either assigned to our High School Program
or our Young Adult Program.
In both programs, the students are exposed to a
curriculum based upon real-world experiences and
proven methods to gain success. At the end of the
week, students leave more motivated, and
empowered with a concrete action plan for success.
The LEAP Foundation is unique in that it is designed to
serve high performing & high potential students.
Many students are recommended to the program by
their peers, teachers or other youth organizations. We
believe that all young adults should have access to
LEAP’s curriculum - regardless of the student’s
�nancial situation. To this end, LEAP provides need &
merit-based scholarships to over 55% of its
participants.
Our 2012 student pro�le can be found on the adjacent
page.
At LEAP we believe that “the only purpose of education
is not knowledge, but results-producing action.” To
measure the actions taken, and the results being
achieved by our alumni, we hired a third-party �rm to
conduct a survey. The survey assessed the skill level of
students in the following areas: goal-setting,
mentoring, academics, and professionalism.
The evaluation found graduates held a high
self-e�cacy in the skills taught by LEAP and are
reporting making signi�cant progress towards their
goals, having productive relationships with mentors,
earning high grades in school, and are highly
con�dent in their career decision and their ability to
project a professional image.

The LEAP Team shares an overwhelming desire to help
as many students as possible – however, LEAP
attributes much of its success to its ability to connect
with each student it impacts. Because of this, the
organization has chosen to increase its capacity and
outreach based upon its strategic plan

LEAP has helped me evolve and change my way of thinking. I
have succeeded in many ways since initially attending the
program and I can’t imagine where I’d be had I not attended

K E N M E Y E R S LEAP is an incredible opportunity for students to
break internal barriers while developing life long
skills. In my two years with the LEAP association I
met some of the best people and created
success-generating habits. I highly recommend this
program to anyone looking to grow personally and
professionally.

C H LO E T H O M P S O NDue to the support of my mentors and the skills that
I gained at LEAP, I learned how to set down my goals
clearly and work towards them. In the 12 months
since LEAP, I was able to live out my dreams by
holding my �rst art exhibition (in a foreign country
nonetheless) and managed to reach my goal pro�t
within two weeks. Now, weeks into the exhibition, it
shows no sign of slowing down and I’m so grateful
that LEAP has helped me get here much quicker
than I could have ever imagined.

S H A N I E E PA R K E RPrior to LEAP I always had goals but never a real
de�nite plan of action or strategy to accomplish all
of the di�erent types of things I wanted to do. With
the time management and interview skills taught at
LEAP, I was able to con�dently interact in a group
interview process and secure a Counselor position
for this summer at the Ronald McDonald House
