Leadership Educators Advising Peers (LEAP)

Leadership Educators Advising Peers (LEAP) is a dedicated program at the Archer Center, focused on fostering leadership skills through hands-on, experiential learning. Our members, known as LEAPers, are skilled facilitators trained extensively in group dynamics, emotional safety, and a variety of leadership models. LEAP members guide workshops designed to improve communication, enhance problem-solving abilities, manage conflicts, and strengthen team collaboration—key skills that benefit participants in both personal and professional settings.
