🇨🇦 LEAP adventure to Vancouver 2026 🇨🇦
Hi! My name is Maddie Lock and I am a third year studying at Human, Social and Political Science at Pembroke College. With the support of the LEAP programme I was able to set myself professional, personal and academic goals and challenges which over the course of this adventure I overcame, while loving every minute of it.
I am incredibly thankful to the support, mentorship and funding that enabled me to pursue this opportunity, I truly had the adventure of a lifetime.
To current and incoming cohorts I am so excited for you all as you plan and undertake your adventures. Get inspired, push yourself out of your comfort zone and get ready for an experience you will never forget!

Online workshop: Beyond your comfort zone – Navigating uncertainty
Change is uncomfortable and that’s exactly where growth begins. This session is for anyone who is curious about pushing beyond the familiar, whether that means travelling somewhere new, taking on an unexpected internship, or saying yes to an opportunity that feels slightly out of reach. Together, we’ll explore how to find confidence in unfamiliar situations, how to recognise the difference between healthy challenge and exhaustion, and how to trust yourself when the path ahead isn’t fully mapped out. Through reflection and practical tools, this session encourages you to step into discomfort with intention, stretch your limits safely, and discover what you’re capable of when you allow yourself to try.
This workshop is delivered by Gemma Brown.
