  3. Demonstrated ability to meet the requirements of sponsoring organizations as stated in the Agreement between LEAP and LEAP Host Sites, including â€‹â€‹cash match and in-kind match requirements; physical site able to accommodate AmeriCorps members and service work, including ADA compliant; drug-free workplace; and adequate supervision, support systems, and training opportunities.

    1. All direct supervisors must undergo an FBI Criminal History check and attend annual LEAP Member/Supervisor Training, regional supervisor meetings, site visit meeting(s), and other possible events.
