Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics, Inc.
Description edit
Since its founding in 1982, Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics, Inc. (LEAP) has been intent on “growing leaders” within the Asian Pacific American (APA) communities across the country. When LEAP opened its doors 23 years ago, it had a simple yet powerful idea: that in order for APA communities to realize their full potential and to foster robust participation in the larger democratic process, those communities would have to begin producing leaders who could advocate and speak on their behalf.
A national, nonprofit organization, LEAP works to achieve its mission by: Developing people, because leaders are made, not born; Informing society, because leaders know the issues; and Empowering communities, because leaders are grounded in strong, vibrant communities.
Guided by its leadership development philosophy that APAs can retain their unique cultures, identities and values while developing new and vital skills that will make them effective leaders within their own organizations, their communities and the broader society, LEAP recognizes that the need for APA leadership has two separate but inextricably linked components: quantity and quality. Not only is there a need for greater numbers of APA leaders, but these leaders also must be more effective if APA communities are to thrive and become full participating members of this American democracy.
