PPJPC, in collaboration with Adventures in Learning K-12, The Living Word Baptist Church, Men of Vision, facilitated and funded the L.E.A.D. Excellence Academy, a learning center located in the Hillside neighborhood in Southeast Colorado Springs. The Academy offered an alternative educational and mentoring classroom and program for youth who had been expelled from local school districts.
