Just received an email that I almost deleted, and I'm glad I didn't. It was from Dr. Bill Dorfman, founder of Discus Dental, and Steve Anderson of the Crown Council and Smiles for Life Foundation. Together, they founded the LEAP Foundation (LEAP's an acronym for Leadership, Excellence, and Accelerating Potential). The organization's Web site can do a much better job of explaining what it does than I can, but suffice it to say I think you'll be impressed. Among it's lofty and thoughtful goals for young adults....better grades, confidence building, mastering job interviewing skills, and of course SUCCESS IN LIFE.
Briefly, among other offerings, LEAP runs a 5-day motivation and leadership program for young adults that includes the opportunity to connect with high-level professionals in a variety of industries. The email announced a scholarship initiative for qualified candidates who otherwise would not be able to participate.
