What is Girls’ LEAP?
Girls’ LEAP is a self-defense and safety program that helps girls and gender expansive youth learn how to respond to a variety of unsafe situations – from peer pressure, arguments and saying no to friends, to how to escape from a situation where someone wants to hurt you

Who teaches Girls’ LEAP?
Every class is led by a Girls’ LEAP-certified adult teacher. Students from nearby colleges and high schools are assistant teachers. Every staff member trains with Girls’ LEAP for at least thirty hours before teaching.

Is it safe for my daughter to learn self-defense?
Girls’ LEAP takes your child’s safety very seriously. Before learning skills that could hurt an attacker, all participants must agree to the “Girls’ LEAP’s Promise”: they will only use their self-defense skills in serious situations, and if they do have to use them, they will talk about it with an adult they trust.

Evaluation
At the end of the program, Girls’ LEAP asks each student to complete a survey with questions about her experience in the Girls’ LEAP program. The results are used to make Girls’ LEAP a better program. All information will be kept confidential and their full names will not be used in any publications of LEAP Self-Defense, Inc.
