About New Leaps Academy:

We evaluate each student, based on emotional, mental and physical well-being. This allows us to listen and understand their needs. L.E.A.P.S. addresses each student’s unique academic, social and emotional needs which allow us to educate individual abilities. Goals are set for each student and individual education program will change based on the progress of the student. At L.E.A.P.S. the curriculum will be carefully crafted and the student will obtain the skills necessary to contribute in a meaningful way within their communities and families. Due to the small classroom size and the individualized instruction our (teachers/professional staff) professionals will be able to recognize and adapt to each of the student’s needs. By partnering with families we reinforce strengths and interests in a more supportive learning group to help the student succeed

About the Rotary Club:

How do we work?

Our impact starts with our members—people who work tirelessly with their clubs to solve some of our communities' toughest challenges. Their efforts are supported by Rotary International, our member association, and The Rotary Foundation, which turns generous donations into grants that fund the work of our members and partners around the world. Rotary is led by our members—responsible leaders who help to carry forward our organization's mission and values in their elected roles.

How do we use our funds?

Responsible leadership means more than just doing good work—it means making the most out of every donation we receive.

What causes do we support?

We have identified specific causes to target to maximize our local and global impact. At the same time, we understand that each community has its own unique needs and concerns. Through our network of resources and partners, we help clubs focus their service efforts in promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education, and growing local economies.
