Project L.E.A.P (Learning, Empathy, Action, Purpose) is being developed specifically for middle schools and their students.  For students who participated in our elementary programs, it will build upon the skills that students have already started to develop. For those students who are new to service-learning, it will give them the opportunity to build and grow important life skills. The driving principle of See Kids Dream’s service-learning programs is that students are empowered to decide how to help community issues that are important to them.
