For over 30 years, LEAP has proudly offered activities promoting Maker ingenuity, mindfulness, STEAM concepts, and so much more! For the 2020-2021 school year, LEAP will look a little bit different however the program is still dedicated to creating engaging content and activities for school-aged youth and their families and caregivers to access virtually.

The Free Library offers online databases to help students with homework assignments. Homework Help Online, powered by Tutor.com offers everything from live tutoring – in English and Spanish – to specialized test prep.

Follow LEAP on social media: Facebook and Instagram for daily updates on access to homework tips and tricks, tutorials on various electronic resources for school-aged youth, and youth-approved activities like slime, table-top gaming, and more! LEAP will always work to cultivate an inclusive and accessible safe space for youth to participate in hands-on literacy-filled activities and learning games.

LEAP advances literacy by promoting a love of reading, guides learning with homework assistance, and inspires curiosity by sharing hands-on STEAM, Maker, and humanities programming and activities with the children and teens participating in LEAP. For more information, email leap@freelibrary.org.

LEAP is a free, drop-in program at Free Library locations throughout the city.
