LEAP

Our Mission and Values At Life Enrichment Advancing People (LEAP), our mission centers on empowering people of all abilities to lead lives with dignity, independence and autonomy by providing comprehensive and individualized supports. Our foundational principle is to provide services that encourage well being, self expression and experiences of joy. We carry out our mission by focusing on three main areas for support: maintaining optimum health, expanding communication options, and having many experiences of joy. This is done through emphasizing healthy lifestyles and autonomy, and providing opportunities for community participation. LEAP supports people in small groups, individualized apartments, in various community supports, and through a small community respite program. We adopt an individualized and holistic approach to tailor our services to each person and family’s goals and expectations. "We believe in the worth and dignity of all people. We promote experiences of joy, wellness, and personal growth."

Our central office is at 128 Weld Road in Wilton, ME and we have residential programs throughout western and central Maine. Each individual home and apartment is unmarked to respect the integrity and privacy of the people we serve.  LEAP also offers community support services in people’s own homes. We assist families and people with developmental disabilities to succeed in their immediate settings based upon the needs and expectations of the person served and their family. LEAP has several volunteers in the community who have assisted with special projects,  fundraisers, and administrative support.
We accept event sponsorships for our annual fundraisers, as well as wheelchairs, wheelchair ramps, beds, and more. If you would like to volunteer, make a donation and/or have a question, please contact Tiffany Baker at tbaker@leapcommunity.org
