CREATING A NEW HAVEN FOR OUR CHILDREN
We teach children how to learn and young adults how to lead. LEAP was founded in 1992 by educators, students, and community activists to address the historic disinvestment in young people of color in our city. In our two community centers and seven neighborhood-based sites, we provide children with a welcoming place to learn, explore and grow, while offering teens and young adults a platform to find their voice and become leaders and role models. College and high school student counselors teach younger students in literacy, the arts, and athletics.

The Read-in Was A Hit!
This year’s Annual LEAP Read-In on the New Haven Green was an absolute hit! On a beautiful summer day, the Green transformed into a giant, open-air library as hundreds of LEAP campers gathered under the trees alongside 70 dedicated volunteer readers. From local leaders and public officials to neighborhood allies, volunteers sat in small circles across the grass to share favorite stories, spark imaginations, and tackle summer learning loss head-on. Thanks to the incredible energy of our campers, staff, and community partners, the event was an inspiring, joyful celebration of youth literacy and New Haven’s shared commitment to its young leaders.
