L.E.A.P
•
Nurtures a core of teen-age leaders
•
Stimulates hundreds of other youth and adults to embrace education and learning beyond the classroom
•
Transforms youth and adults into vigorous advocates pressing for educational change in their local
communities
•
Creates a collaborative synergy between youth and adults who become a local power force
The Education
LEAP is based on the eductional and social technology of AYA Educational Institute. Since 1998, our academic and social action results among youth and adults are simply amazing. 1. We combine Hi-Tech with Hi- Touch. 2. We combine African and African American Culture with expectation to stimulate academic excellence and social responsibility. 3. We actively Heal Alienation born of oppression and abusive educational pratices. Our graduates start businesses, attend colleges and intentionally improve the communities in which they live.The
Presentations
LEAP sponsors, parents, teachers, and supporters create a small core of local AYA students who each have 12 minutes to inspire the audience of 150 youth and adults by their subject mastery and engaging delivery. Not once, not twice, but 4 times a year – every nine weeks - they present at the L.E.A.P Community Education and Advocacy conferences. That’s 600 inspired youth and adults per year in each local community. Inspired to do what? • To raise their hope and expectations • To embrace education as a personal goal and community obligation • To advocate for real change in local educationThe
Facilitation -
Discussion
Inspiration is a spark, but alone isn’t enough. Persperation is needed to make for lasting change. After the presentations, feedback, and judging of the youth presentations, things really heat up. Parents and community adults are separated from the youth. Both groups enter their own safe spaces where AYA trained facilitators fan the spark to a flame with key questions and discussion in two areas: • Education as a personal quest (what they’ve learned, and want to know) • Advocacy for systemic educational change (what they don’t like about education, what they will do the help change it, and what support they will need.) Facilitators push, dig deep, prevent grand-standing, and help to board responses from each group.
L.E.A.P is a innovative education and community
development collaborataive between AYA Educational
Institute and local African and African-American
communities. The goal: Help our youth and our
community leap over the myarid of personal and
social obstacles blocking us from success.
The Collaborative Synergy
Now, we bring the two groups back together. Parents, community, and sponsors listen as the youth present what they’ve learned, what they want to learn more about, and what they’re committed to do to grab the knowledge they seek. They get to hear what the youth think needs to be changed about the education and the educational process. They especially attend to when they report the support they need to achieve the personal educational goals and the systemic change. Then, the tables are turned. The community reports to the youth along the same dimensions. The resulting conversations and discusssion of common points of interest and mutual support is the basis for renewed power that we’ve not seen in local communities in years.
