1. What services do you provide?
Empowerment and leadership programs for women who are rebuilding their lives from domestic violence, homelessness, and other major life challenges.
2. Who is eligible for your services?
Women who are rebuilding their confidence after adversity and who meet the criteria on our Readiness Checklist. They also may be receiving services from our community partners or they can be self-referred .
3. Where do you provide your programs?
Programs are currently delivered online on Zoom and less frequently in person in the San Diego area.
4. How is the Leap to Success’ approach different than other organizations?
Historically, the response to addressing the issue of domestic violence and other trauma has been crisis management oriented. Emergency shelters and services, transitional housing programs, counseling, and case management exist to help, but after the crisis, there is little support and focus to move people into self-sufficiency.
5. Do you charge for your programs?
No. Our current programs are available at no cost to the women who meet our Readiness Checklist.
6. Can I visit your classes?
Because of confidentiality, we do not allow visitors to our programs. Our supporters and partners are invited to attend graduation ceremonies.
7. What is the time limit of your support services?
We have a saying at Leap to Success that we hate to say goodbye—so we don’t! We encourage our graduates to be part of our ongoing supportive community by attending Empowerment Circles, which are group sessions offered twice a week, with no end date! Each session has a mix of participants, from women who graduated recently, to women who graduated five years ago! We love that they come back and share their growth, successes, and challenges.
8. Do you offer your programs outside of San Diego?
We are so glad you asked! We now offer a Trainer Certification program and train and license others to use our Leap to Confidence curriculum with women in their locations across the country.
