LEAP NYC

About Our Organization

BACKGROUND

We believe in the Power of Art. LEAP partners with school communities to offer creative arts programs that encourage New York City youth to pursue their passions, develop their strengths and amplify their voices. We envision a city where education is equitable, and the arts are accessible for youth in communities that are rich in culture and capability and have been intentionally and unintentionally excluded and under-resourced. Youth in our communities will be the next generation of lifelong learners, creative problem solvers, and collaborative leaders.

LEAP started as a grassroots movement with just four schools and, today, our programs serve 15,000 youth across the city in over 100 New York City public schools.

Culture Statement: LEAP is a group of diverse and passionate individuals working together to prioritize youth and pursue our mission.
