Mission

Creating a College Bound Path for Urban Youth

NJ LEEP empowers urban youth in grades eight to twelve from underserved neighborhoods in northern New Jersey to perform at high academic levels by building skills through law-related, mathematic, and other educational programs, developing the habits necessary for lasting success and community leadership, and offering exposure to role models who have achieved academic and professional success. NJ LEEP is part of the pipeline diversity effort, dedicated to increasing minority representation in the legal profession by introducing students to law and skill building at a young age.

"I'm glad that LEEP is NJ, and I'm glad that it's in Newark!"
