Fueling Creativity. Empowering Youth. Advancing Arts Education.
At LEAP, we believe in the power of art to transform lives, amplify voices, and create meaningful change. Every day, in classrooms across New York City, young artists take bold leaps—whether it’s stepping onto a stage for the first time, picking up a paintbrush to tell their story, or collaborating with peers to create something entirely new. Their creativity is powerful. Their voices matter.
Here creativity isn’t just an idea—it’s a movement. Every day, at LEAP, young people are discovering their artistic voices, shaping their futures, and transforming their communities through the power of the arts.
That’s why we’re launching The Creative Spark—a blog dedicated to sharing the stories, ideas, and impact behind LEAP’s work as the largest Creative Youth Development organization in NYC.
In The Creative Spark, we’ll explore the many ways arts education ignites imagination, builds confidence, and helps young people thrive.
