🎨 Join the Movement: Make Magic with LEAP! 🌟

At LEAP, we believe in the transformational power of the arts. What started as a grassroots movement with just four schools has blossomed into a dynamic network of over 140 New York City public schools, where our teaching artists, activity specialists and group leaders inspire over 20,000 youth every year.

Every classroom we step into is an opportunity:
 ✨ To spark creativity
 🎭 To foster confidence
 🎨 To build critical skills
 🎶 And most importantly, to ensure that every student—regardless of background—has access to high-quality arts education.
