No need to look before you leap when it comes to the LEAP program. Located in Southern California, the LEAP Foundation is dedicated to helping high school and college aged students get a "7 year LEAP on success" into their future. Here at California Limited, we are excited to announce that a portion of our clothing line proceeds will be directed toward this amazing foundation to be put toward the amazing students of the LEAP Foundation!

What the LEAP Foundation is all about

The LEAP Foundation motto pretty much says it all. They are about training students in strong leadership skills, helping them to excel in excellence within their chosen profession and individual life, and accelerating the potential of each individual.

Leadership. Excellence. Accelerating Potential.

LEAP is a non-profit organization that prioritizes the student, no matter what stage of life they are in. They even cater to recent graduates who may need direction toward the next steps after college.

Leadership Program at UCLA

LEAP accomplishes its three main goals through a fun and interactive week-long Leadership Program hosted at UCLA. This year, both the High School (grades 9–12) and Young Adult (18-24 year olds) Programs will be held July 27 to August 2 with both programs running at the same time. During this week, leaders in their field of expertise teach students the keys to success needed to leap ahead, whether that's personally or professionally. The priorities taught deal specifically with goal-setting, proper business practices, communication in an effective manner, and the benefits of having a strong mentor figure. Not only are popular and successful motivational speakers brought in to share with the students, but the programs are fun and interactive. Some past speakers include James Malinchak, Andy Thibodeau, and Jonathan Sprinkles.  Check out this great video from the LEAP website: http://youtu.be/Skr5o12gM4c

A student who attends LEAP can look forward to gaining tools for "academic, professional, and personal success" as the LEAP website says. They have also highlighted a few areas that the program will instruct students in.

We picked a few to give you an idea, but the full list can be found here on their website.

• Help in deciding a career path
• Study tips and tricks
• Learn how to be a leader
• Financial wisdom
• Gain knowledge on how to correctly approach an interview

California Limited and LEAP

At California Limited, we believe in California dreamin' - not just as a song, but as a reality! Dreams can come true and we think that the LEAP Foundation is a great way to help High School and Young Adult students reach those dreams. We will donate a portion of the proceeds from our clothing sales to be a part of making those dreams come true.

Will you join us in making dreams a reality?
