Participation in LEAP is mandatory if:
you are a 16 or 17-year-old parent

If you successfully complete the program, you may qualify for $500 to use toward:
your post-secondary education or a training program, or
investing in an education trust fund for your children.
If you're a parent between the ages of 18 and 25 receiving Ontario Works, and you have not completed high school, we also encourage you to take advantage of the LEAP program.
