About NJ LEEP

Founded in 2006, NJ LEEP empowers youth to perform at high academic levels by building academic and social-emotional skills, creating opportunities to develop the habits for success, and ensuring our students have exposure to the professionalism needed in college and beyond.

100% of NJ LEEP students graduate high school; 85% are currently enrolled or have graduated from college.

We define first-generation college students as those who are the first in their family to go to college and earn a college degree in the United States. We define low-income as an income of $80,000 or below for a family of four (for each additional household member, we add $5,000 to the threshold).  See our annual report here.
