What is LEAP?
LEAP (Leaders for Ethics, Animals, and the Planet) is a revolutionary humane education program providing students across the nation with a compassionate alternative to traditional agriculture programs like 4H and FFA. Taught by participating farmed animal sanctuaries, LEAP combines interactive curriculum modules with hands-on learning activities, leadership training, and real-world skill development. LEAP aims to prepare the next generation of changemakers to tackle the challenges of animal cruelty, climate change, food deserts, and habitat loss, and encourages them to devise solutions for a more compassionate, sustainable food system.
