Look who we bumped into! 👋 Our Fair Haven South LEAPers had an awesome surprise this morning during their swim resource visit when they ran into New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker! 🏙️

It’s always a great day when our city leaders take a moment to chat, share some high-fives, and check in on what our kids are up to this summer.

Extra, extra... read all about it! 📰✨ Last Friday, the New Haven community showed out massively for LEAP’s 26th Annual Read-In!

From high-energy LEAP cheers to cozy reading circles, it was an unforgettable morning celebrating the power of literacy, joy, and opportunity with our LEAPers. 📚❤️

We were so honored to be joined by our incredible volunteers, dedicated staff, and amazing state and city leaders—including Governor Lamont, Senator Blumenthal, Congresswoman DeLauro, Mayor Elicker, Senator Winfield, Representative Paolillo, and Superintendent Dr. Negrón—who all stepped up to show our youth that New Haven has their back.

Thank you to everyone who picked up a book, shared a story, and brought the energy for our kids!
