From Juvenile Justice Information Exchange:
In 2016, the Annie E. Casey Foundation launched LEAP™ (Learn and Earn to Achieve Potential), a national initiative that helps youth and young adults who have been involved in the foster care or justice systems or who have experienced homelessness succeed in school and work. Through partnerships with public agencies, postsecondary education, housing, service providers and more, LEAP partners are working toward improving policies and practices that place more systems-involved young people on positive economic trajectories.
In 2023, Equal Measure, an evaluation partner for the initiative, conducted a series of surveys with LEAP partners to better understand their efforts in tackling the root causes of disconnection from education and careers with systems-involved youth. This report brief shares findings from Equal Measure's evaluation.
