LEAF was established in 2016 as a non-profit organization, and since then, the number of parents and students attending its workshops and conferences have tripled in number. As a result, more students are attending specialized schools, getting scholarships, accepted into prestigious programs (Jack Kent Cooke, Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, Duke TIP), graduating from High School and accepted into Ivy League/top universities.
