What's Cooking at the Salem Teen Center?

On April 30, Salem Teen Center students embarked on a 6-week cooking and nutrition class with the UMass Amherst Extension Program. This class covers a comprehensive array of topics. In the photo, students are using their newly acquired knife skills to make veggie wraps and fruit salad.

Salute to Brian Umeh

Brian, an amazing Americorps fellow serving in Lynn Public Schools and LEAP, was one of 200 Americorps fellows terminated when 17 Americorps sites were defunded without notice by DOGE. Brian has been a vital member of our Dream MORE team at Thurgood Marshall Middle School and he will continue on staff at LEAP in a paid short-term position through the summer.

LEAP for Education supports youth in their personal, educational, and career growth by partnering with the community to increase opportunities and advance equity.
