    About Us:
    LEAP is an academic and social enrichment program for children and youth in New Haven.

    The LEAP mission is to develop the strengths and talents of young leaders who create and implement year-round, community-based programming designed to achieve positive academic and social outcomes for children living in high-poverty urban neighborhoods.

    LEAP was founded in 1992 by a group of New Haven educators, students, social workers, and community activists who shared a collective outrage at the profound level of poverty in Connecticut versus its incredible wealth.

    These visionaries instinctively recognized the value of education and of sustained, wholesome attachments in empowering young people; thus, they committed themselves to action on behalf of children, teens, young adults, and their families.
