Founded in 1982, LEAP (Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics) is a national, nonprofit organization, with a vision of diverse leaders shaping communities for the benefit of all through its mission of achieving full participation and equality for Asian and Pacific Islanders (APIs) through leadership, empowerment, and policy. LEAP started with a simple yet powerful idea: that in order for API communities to realize their full potential and to foster robust participation in this increasingly globalized world, these communities would have to begin producing leaders who could advocate and speak on their behalf.
