Latino Educational Achievement Partnership (LEAP) empowers Durham children to achieve academic success by providing a high-quality, culturally affirming, dual-language preschool and ongoing support through 8th grade. Through strong relationships with families and a deep commitment to community care, LEAP ensures children grow in environments where their language, culture, and identity are valued.

Today, LEAP is also on a bold path toward the future. By 2028, we aim to become Durham Pre-K’s first dual-language program offering a free, full-day licensed preschool through Durham County’s universal Pre-K initiative. This transformation will strengthen long-term sustainability while expanding access to high-quality early education for Durham families. Along the way, we are investing in curriculum alignment, educator development, and improvements to our learning spaces and transportation so that more children can thrive. Regular donations from supporters like you make all of this possible. Your gift helps sustain LEAP’s programs today while building a stronger, more accessible future for Durham’s children and families.
