School Year And Summer Virtual Services
Virtual programs allow our students to access LEAP’s services without ever leaving their homes. Through virtual academic support and enrichment, mentoring, and college and career advising we can make sure that our low-income, first-generation-to-college, and English learner students do not suffer learning loss while schools are closed.
SPRING 2020: During the spring many of LEAP’s services and programs continued to operate online with LEAP staff making over 900 contacts with students and families, reaching 200 students and offering 12 virtual programs each week.
SUMMER 2020: In Lynn, a free virtual summer program is now in session for 36 English learners, the only virtual summer program being offered at Marshall Middle School.
SUMMER 2020: Since July 7, 2020 57 LEAP high school students have been engaged in a paid, virtual summer internship. Each student has been paired with a career mentor to complete a summer project and get career mentoring. Career mentors come from across the North Shore from businesses, large and small, public, private and non-profit. All mentors are volunteers.
