LEAP for Ladies
Founded in 2009, LEAP is dedicated to helping incarcerated women transcend their past.
LEAP’s prison education program teaches practical employment, entrepreneurship, and essential life skills. Just as importantly, LEAP supports their students to go deeper to address the unique pathways to prison for women — domestic violence and sexual assault leading to substance abuse. In far too many cases, women’s prison experiences pale in comparison with their prior experiences of violence.
