LEAP

Learn…Experience…Adapt…Prepare

LEAP is an innovative program designed for individuals who want to strengthen their overall life skills in order to achieve independence. Participants benefit from job readiness training, life skill development, and extensive social skill instruction. The goal of this program is to produce independent young adults by helping them improve their job-related, social/emotional, and communications skills.

LEAP fosters relationships with local businesses to help participants gain real-life job experience with the aim of obtaining employment upon completion of the program. LEAP evaluates participants’ specific skills and needs in order to help them create a plan for future success.

Along with on-the-job training, LEAP participants attend classes on a daily basis. The classes are experiential in nature. The high instructor-to-participant ratio allows personalized attention in the classroom and on the work sites. The following themes are explored in these classes and throughout LEAP.

Eaton Academy is once again offering the "LEAP Into Summer" program which provides real life experiences and work-related activities and opportunities. The program consists of job-site work experiences and features a weekly outing. Participants undergo MARTA training and learn to effectively use the Marta bus and train system to access field trip locations. They will be given a "stipend" for trips and be taught to live within a budget. Participants will plan, shop, and cook meals daily. The program includes one trip per week, utilizing MARTA. Classroom instruction addresses social skills, budgeting, and independent living skills training.

There are two three-week sessions, June 8-26 and July 6-24. These sessions are open to individuals aged 14 and older. The program runs daily from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Individuals may choose to participate in one session or both; materials and outings will differ in each three week period.

The all-inclusive cost for each three-week session is $3,100.00.
