Our Great Expectations (GX) 2023 event was a huge success. We welcomed a record number of guests -- including the Massachusetts Secretary of Education, Dr. Patrick Tutwiler -- and raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars to provide more than 600 underserved local youth with high-quality, no-cost-to-them programs and resources, including career mentors and college coaches.

All of this would not be possible without you, our passionate donors, partners and volunteers, our fans and champions.

Thank you for prioritizing LEAP's mission and students. Together, we will continue to make quality opportunities accessible to all students.

It is still not too late to contribute to LEAP's mission of empowering students to achieve social and economic mobility.
We're still seeking Summer Career Mentors! This is a highly rewarding opportunity to work 1-on-1 with a high school student for 90 minutes a week, for 6 weeks -- virtually or in person. Click here to learn more and sign up to volunteer.
