LEAP-Mini

All young people applying to participate in LEAP 2023 are required to complete a "LEAP-Mini" session.

A LEAP-Mini session is a short, 30-minute, ‘taster’ session conducted on Zoom. The LEAP-Mini is designed to simulate a typical session in the LEAP program.

The LEAP-Mini is an opportunity for your child to try out the program free of charge to decide if LEAP is a good fit for their goals and interests. It is also an opportunity for LEAP to determine if your child has the skills they need to participate in the LEAP program in 2023.

LEAP program is exciting, it is rewarding, it is challenging.

We want your child to be prepared for the amazing LEAP challenge.
