Leap Empowers

LEAP has moved offices!
After almost 12 years at N Wabash Ave we have decided to make the LEAP to the Impact House!

Impact House is a 40,000 square-foot work club specifically for the city's Funders and Changemakers. The purpose of Impact House is to connect, serve and support Chicago's granting organizations and impact leaders. Its inclusive member community is committed to working together, intentionally sharing ideas and resources, to operate with greater efficiency while advancing Chicago's Impact goals.

LEAP is excited to be a part of this innovative community where we hope to learn from our fellow members and build collaborative relationships that will help us improve as an organization. 🌟

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the ASHA (American Speech Language/Hearing Association) Conference!
LEAP showcased how our educators, in collaboration with various organizations, have effectively teamed up to enhance support systems for caregivers in underserved communities through a cooperative approach to language and literacy development.
Our presentation detailed workshops conducted alongside community organizations and schools aimed at assisting immigrant and refugee families.
