How We Won $25,000 1st Prize at Advance San Diego

Group_emailI agonized and struggled writing this 3 minute speech. How could I encapsulate and convey how lives were changing in Leap to Success programs in just 180 seconds? I was guided by the help of mentors and coaches through Social Venture Partners, our team, and terrific presentation coaches Chris Witt and Jeff Bucholtz. The whole team was there with their support.

We had a winning idea (really, a secret weapon) that worked out beautifully. So beautifully in fact, that out of 85 organizations we were selected as the First Prize $25,000 winner.

Here’s the Advance San Diego Competition (scroll to 38.55 for our presentation)

✨ What does confidence look like? For the incredible participants of Leap to Confidence® Class 112, it looks like a storm of bravery, self-love, resilience, and joy.
We asked our graduates to describe what this journey has meant to them—in one word. The result? A powerful word cloud that speaks volumes. 🌟

These words aren’t just letters on a screen—they’re declarations. Each one represents a breakthrough, a mindset shift, a moment of courage.
Take a look. Let it sink in. And maybe ask yourself… What word would you choose?
