Residencies For Schools & Communities *
LEAF’s Teaching Artist Residencies come to you! Classes are a standing invitation — to pick up a drum, learn a step, strum a chord, or find your voice. Beginners and lifelong learners sit side by side here, and everyone belongs from the very first class.

Get involved
LEAF membership places you inside a global community rooted in cultural curiosity, education, and preservation. Your membership directly fuels programs that create real impact: supporting cultural traditions across 10 countries, bringing arts education into local classrooms, and aiding musicians and visual artists recovering from the Helene floods. It's meaningful support, sustained year-round by people who believe in the arts.
Partners and sponsors play a vital role in bringing LEAF's programs and experiences to life. By contributing financial support, in-kind resources, or collaborative expertise, partners help make arts and cultural programming more accessible while connecting with engaged audiences and demonstrating their commitment to a thriving, creative community.
International Outreach
At LEAF International, culture is a living torch passed hand to hand across generations. Across 10 countries in Africa, the Americas, and the Caribbean, LEAF partners with local Culture Keepers to teach traditional arts to youth in their own groups.
Programs are owned and led by the people they serve — preserving what makes each place unique while empowering youth as global citizens. From the Intore drum of Rwanda to the Guna Yala flute of Panama, from the steel pan of Bequia to the marimba of El Tejar. More than 630 youth learn traditional arts each week.
