NJ LEEP

NJ LEEP NJ LEEP provides law-related educational opportunities as well as academic skill building programs for urban youth in northern New Jersey.

Fitting Together the Pieces to Create a Pipeline for Success

NJ LEEP programs are designed to build skills and character. They are also designed to work together holistically to support the academic growth of the students they serve in all areas. Moreover, NJ LEEP recognizes through its programs the need to work over a prolonged period in a sustained manner with individual students. We feel a res

ponsibility to not only excite students about learning, but to make sure they have access to quality skill-building programs over a period of years. We thus seek, for the most part, to begin working with students in their eighth grade year and continue our support of them until they graduate high school and continue beyond into college and graduate school.

On June 19, 1865, enslaved Black people in Texas finally learned they were free. That moment, and the long fight it represents, is why access to education matters. At NJ LEEP, we honor Juneteenth by staying committed to empowering every student with the tools they need to shape their own future.

In observance of Juneteenth, our office is closed and will reopen on June 22.
