Project Broad Jump: A Leap Into Learning

Fleming, Douglas

Opportunity, 2, 3, 4-7, Apr 72

Project Broad Jump is a New York-based education program for some 600 youngsters from urban areas, in the third through tenth grades. The basic concept of the program is that academic opportunities are not accessible to many inner-city youth, whereas Head Start and Follow Through help pre-third graders, and Upward Bound helps high school students.
