The LEAP Project (Leadership, Education, Advocacy, Partnership) is a new project of the Arc of King County. To be most effective in the Self-Advocacy Movement, we need to prepare people with developmental disabilities to take on leadership roles. 

The focus of the LEAP project is to work with a select few individuals— to truly give them the tools necessary to be leaders in whatever capacity fits their individual interests and passions.

What is this new project?

• Monthly Saturday leadership workshops

• Field trips that are both fun and educational

• Experience planning and leading group activities

• Get weekly guidance to set goals and meet leadership challenges

• Learn about places or activities to be involved in

• Leadership based on personal interests

What Is Required?

• A two-year commitment

• Support that would assist you in participating with the project

• Enthusiasm to learn and experience new leadership opportunities and skills.
