Founded by former CC transfer students, College Leap strives to provide information and opportunities in:

to empower community college students, especially those who are looking to transfer to 4-year institutions.

College Leap Programs

Resources for CC students to gain experience and information

Every year, College Leap launches various programs on the national level within the following fields:

Business, STEM, Art & Humanities, Social Sciences, Transfer, Scholarship, Volunteer, Career

...

to provide extra resources for community college students. All programs are organized by the project committees at College Leap and are open to all community college students.

2025 Project: NunaHub

NunaHub is a community platform we’re building with students to support tribal and remote communities (Alaska → Arizona → more). Teams help collect events, services, and local info so residents can find everything in one place.

Open to CC students, 4-year students, tribal members, and experienced volunteers.

In collaboration with Arcnito / NunaHub and tribal-serving partners.

Community College Chapters

Student organizations at community colleges to support local student bodies

College Leap establishes chapters at community colleges to fulfill its mission on the campus level. All College Leap chapters are positioned as "Premium Transfer Clubs" on campus to provide transfer-related resources and information.

Each College Leap chapter is managed by an executive board and an advisor to organize chapter projects, recruit members, and promote College Leap programs.
