“I am so grateful for the opportunity to participate in this program because it was an incredible opportunity that not many young women have access to. I am extremely interested in entrepreneurship, and this program has taught me a lot about leading a team, collaboration, and starting and running a business. Jersey was the perfect location for this incubator because I felt safe at all times to explore the island and take advantage of its resources. “

“I want to thank you for a wonderful week of LEAP. I had a fantastic time collaborating with my team and was happy to learn that I can connect with people from entirely different places and work together to come up with a project that was well-developed and successful. You selected an excellent set of speakers who presented information that was pertinent to the project we were developing. After delivering engaging presentations, they visited our project stations and instead of a passive comment of approval, gave us constructive advice specific to our business model. I came to Jersey lacking any experience in business but with an open mind and now feel that I have a solid foundation of knowledge that I look forward to applying in my future leadership opportunities. Your constant encouragement was really appreciated as my team worked our hardest the past nine days to apply all of the tools you gave us. I am incredibly grateful for you and the rest of the LEAP team. Thank you for lifetime memories and skills. I hope to visit Jersey sometime again. “

It has shown me my full potential, expanding my horizons, and allowing me to interact with amazing people from all around the world.

Evelyn: Harpeth Hall School, USA 

“I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I have. Lots of the speakers were really interesting and made me want to know more about their job. I loved meeting people from different places, with different views on the world and I'm really going to miss them. I'd never had the slightest interest in business, but I still had so much fun learning about setting one up and I'm excited to start our project in the real world. It also really improved my teamwork, I normally get frustrated with people when it can't just be what I want, but everyone had great input and made our project better.”

I have made an amazing group of international friends who have ignited a passion for travel and international collaboration in the future of my business!”
