Leaps of Hope

About

Leaps of Hope is a Utah-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping veterans, first responders, survivors of childhood abuse, and Gold Star children rediscover their sense of identity, purpose, and community through the transformative experience of skydiving.

Our mission goes beyond the thrill of freefall. Through introductory tandem skydives and fully funded Accelerated Freefall (AFF) training scholarships, we provide individuals affected by trauma, loss, and significant life transitions with opportunities to confront fear, build confidence, regain a sense of personal agency, and develop meaningful connections.

Our programs emphasize personal growth, peer support, and continued engagement. By integrating validated mental health assessments and follow-up evaluations, we are working to better understand the impact of skydiving on psychological well-being, resilience, and community reintegration.

At Leaps of Hope, we believe that healing and personal growth can begin when individuals discover what they are capable of overcoming.

Skydiving is the vehicle. Restoration is the point.
