LEAP Community LEAP is a nonprofit agency that provides residential and community support for people with cognitive & intellectual disabilities in western and central Maine.

Our Mission and Values

At Life Enrichment Advancing People (LEAP), our mission centers on empowering people of all abilities to lead lives with dignity, independence and autonomy by providing comprehensive and individualized supports. Our foundational principle is to provide services that encourage well being, self expression and experiences of joy. We carry out our mission by focusing on three main areas for support: maintaining optimum health, expanding communication options, and having many experiences of joy. This is done through emphasizing healthy lifestyles and autonomy, and providing opportunities for community participation. LEAP supports people in small groups, individualized apartments, in various community supports, and through a small community respite program. We adopt an individualized and holistic approach to tailor our services to each person and family’s goals and expectations. "We believe in the worth and dignity of all people. We promote experiences of joy, wellness, and personal growth."

This week is National Case Management Week! We’re so grateful for the dedication, compassion, and hard work our case managers bring to supporting the people we serve every day. 💙
The LEAP case managers decided to celebrate a little early by opting for smoother (and warmer!) seas and took their boat trip in September instead! 🚤☀️ We hope these pictures capture just a little of the fun they had together!

Nothing says fall quite like picking apples and baking a homemade pie! Stacy enjoyed a wonderful day out with their staff, picking fresh apples at Boothby's Orchard and then put them to good use in the kitchen. Smells great, Stacy!

Disability Rights Maine and our partners at Consumer Council System of Maine, Speaking Up For Us , the University of Maine Center for Community Inclusion and Disability Studies, and the Maine Developmental Disabilities Council, are pleased to share candidate videos featuring those running for Governor, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House. Each video lets the candidates speak directly to voters about their policy and platform priorities relating to the disability community.

A note on participation: All candidates for each race were invited to submit a video. The videos included are the submissions we received, so you will notice not every candidate on your ballot is featured here. Inclusion or absence of a video is not an endorsement or a reflection on any candidate.

We encourage you to watch, share with family and friends, and do your own research before casting your ballot.

Thank you for being an engaged and informed voter.
