  • Great Expectations a Benefit for LEAP for Education Empowering Underserved Students to Succeed in Education, Career and Life
    Great Expectations A Benefit for LEAP for Education Empowering underserved students to succeed in education, career and life. Linda E. Saris Executive Director of LEAP for Education, Inc. LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR “To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.” Khalil Gibran Aspiration – the ‘A’ in the LEAP acronym – can simply be defined as the hope or ambition of achieving something of substance or importance for oneself. All of our young people should be able to articulate an aspiration, yet so many cannot. To be able to do this – articulate one’s aspirations – one needs agency. When we have agency, we can shape our thoughts, behaviors, experiences and choices in order to take control over our own life trajectories. We know we have that control when we create a set of goals and aspirations we are confident we can attain. Simply put, with agency and aspiration we can own our futures. How does LEAP staff build agency? We help our students explore their strengths, interests and values as well as opportunities for personal growth. By doing this, they take control of their own stories and don’t let themselves be defined by others. As trusted adults in their lives, LEAP staff sets high expectations and provides the encouragement and support to help our young people understand their possibilities and choices and then guides them to a vision for their future. At LEAP, students prepare an annual educational and career plan that lays out their goals and documents their aspirations as they move from middle school to high school and then to a LETTER FROM THE DIRectoR post-secondary degree or credential.

Introduction The Towns of Yarmouth, Dennis, Orleans, Barnstable, and Falmouth (the “Towns”) are committed to increasing affordable housing rental opportunities for low-to-moderate income households. The Towns have developed a variety of innovative methods to encourage the creation and retention of scattered site rental housing, including by-law provisions for accessory apartments, shop-top housing, and various other zoning and housing incentives. And while committed to ensuring fair and open access to these affordable housing opportunities, the Towns understand that marketing efforts can sometimes be difficult and costly for smaller rental projects. In an effort to further facilitate affordable housing efforts, to ease the financial burden on developers, to ensure that marketing is performed efficiently and effectively by an experienced and qualified entity, and to make the application process for the low-to-moderate income households more streamlined, the following Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan (AFHMP) has been created. This Plan will result in a lotteried Ready Renter list serving affordable housing developments and affordable accessory apartments in the Towns, their residents, and the residents of Barnstable County and the Commonwealth.

  • 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends
    2014 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, From 2010 to 2013, we grew from serving 350 to over 500 youth per year through after-school programming, plus an additional 500 youth through in-school programming at East Boston High School and the Mario Umana Academy. Throughout this growth, we are proud to have successfully maintained our quality of service, and the warmth that has made ZUMIX a “second home” to so many of our participants. Just the other day, Lisnette, one of our 10-year-old participants, said to us, “I love ZUMIX because it’s my family. ZUMIX is like a home to me.” In January 2014, we had the privilege of taking the ZUMIX Jazz Allstars to the Panama Jazz Festival. This was ZUMIX’s second international journey, and one of the highlights of our 23 years of service. In one intensive week of workshops, clinics, presentations, and performances, we saw the transformative power of music in action. Watching them evolve as artists and young adults was a gift beyond words. 2014 was also our busiest year ever in terms of paid work opportunities for our youth. Over the past year, our youth collectively earned over $30,000 as live sound technicians, musicians, radio journalists, and youth staff. Our youth were hired to run sound and perform at numerous events and venues across the city, including Mayor Marty Walsh’s inauguration party, Arts on the Arcade at Faneuil Hall, and many more. When we look at the amazing accomplishments of our youth and alumni, and their dedication to building positive futures for themselves, we are truly inspired.
