LEAP

Founded in 1977, LEAP’s mission is to bring educational arts programs to promote access and equity for NYC students underserved in the arts. We inspire diverse school communities to love learning and help them build their creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking skills. LEAP uses experiences in the visual arts, theater, dance, music, and new media arts to empower students to become change agents through programs that incorporate social justice themes, engage youth in advocacy and activism, and support their development as creative leaders and young artivists.
