Founded in 1994, LEAP is looking forward to celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2019. From modest beginnings, when it provided drug prevention programmes to just a few thousand students, LEAP has expanded its reach and become an important and respected part of the education system in Hong Kong. In the 2017/18 academic year, LEAP was proud to deliver its programmes to more than 110,000 young people all over the territory.

LEAP’s first mobile classroom came into operation in 1994. Today the fleet has grown to nine classrooms, all equipped with the latest Augmented Reality (AR) and Kinect technologies. In 1995, LEAP took a major step forward by expanding its programmes to local schools. This was followed by the launch of its Secondary and Special Needs Programmes in 1999. In response to evolving social needs and to complement its student programmes, in 2006 LEAP launched its Parent Programme which has become an integral and valued part of our service.

LEAP’s effort to become involved in the community was boosted by Andy Lau becoming our Health Ambassador in 1996 and Vivienne Tam our Life Buddy in 2011. LEAP would not have come this far without the support of schools and the community. 2019 will therefore be an important milestone showing above all how LEAP works with the Hong Kong community to solve its problems.

A series of special activities are planned to celebrate this special anniversary with our friends and supporters and get the community involved. Apart from new educational initiatives, plans are under way for a major event highlighting the importance of life skills education to help children develop a healthy, positive lifestyle. Please stay tuned for further announcements.
