potential and find their future.

professional values, both in our own work and in that of the teens we

R.A.M.P. Program (Readiness, Ability, Marketability, Progression)
This program was designed and developed by the team at Leap Learning
Systems. It provided students with several fun, hands-on, project-based
learning opportunities. Students went on field trips, met with business
and education professionals, got to know college students, visited col-
lege campuses, and made friends with teens from all over Chicago. They
also developed important skills that will help them pursue a college edu-
cation and future careers.
Program instruction and student coaching provided by
Leap Learning Systems www.leaplearningsystems.org
Leap Learning Systems is a not-for-profit organization
dedicated to results-driven language and literacy develop-
ment. Leap’s trained staff provides students with unparal-
leled professional coaching on skill development including

business etiquette & non-verbal communication.

For the past six weeks, students representing over
twenty high schools have come together under the direction of
Leap Learning Systems to build communication skills and
gain insights on how to use them in preparation for college and
careers.
Through hard work and perseverance, these students
have successfully completed all of the program requirements
and have earned a $420 award from ASM. They completed a
service project at Ariel Community Academy, visited The
Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago, learned about Early Col-
lege enrollment at City Colleges of Chicago completed mul-
tiple financial literacy workshops with the staff from Ariel Ed-
ucation Initiative, opened bank accounts with the support of
the Economic Awareness Council and visited the main
branch of BMO Harris Bank.
This Student Learning Showcase is designed to
provide students with a stage to voice and demonstrate some
of the skills and knowledge they have developed. Thank you to our sponsors, program supporters and
friends. All of their efforts have helped to enhance this pro-
gram and further educate our youth. And most importantly
we thank the parents, families and the Chicago community as a
whole for providing the students with encouragement and
support.
