Mission
The Leap Institute incubates transformative educational projects aligned with community aspirations. It convenes diverse clusters of educational partners—nonprofits, schools, local businesses, and government entities—working towards creating meaningful, regenerative change in the education sector.

Our model reflects this by ensuring that the voices of local stakeholders are activated to become central to decision-making and action. This community-centered ‘hub’ approach with layers of stakeholders working closely together is designed to produce exponential impact.
