Children Seeking Sponsors

When you sponsor a young person to go to school through a LEAP Educational Scholarship, or get critical medical assistance with a LEAP Care Sponsorship, you'll help them fulfill their dream of becoming an accountant, doctor, engineer, nurse... or living a healthier, more productive life.

How does LEAP work?

When you become a sponsor—a "LEAP Angel" to a young person—we'll send you a Welcome Pack and updates so you can get to know your sponsored youth. Travel with us to Guatemala and you can meet the youth you're helping and experience first-hand how your gift is transforming a life!

ANNUAL SPONSORSHIPS are also available.
Call us to set up this option: (714) 232-8669 ext. 2
