LEAF in Schools & Streets (LSS) empowers youth through festive arts! LSS is a non-profit collaborative outreach program sending performing artists into local communities for hands-on workshops, residencies, mentoring and performances. The experience provides opportunity for the youth to attend Lake Eden Arts Festival and to perform alongside resident artists on a national stage, with their parents in the audience. Participating youth gain self-esteem and tolerance while experiencing workshops, being a performer, multiple interactions with performing artists, and a festival adventure.
Since its '04 debut, LSS has featured talented and award-winning artists, who have inspired more than 7,100 Buncombe County area young people in 27 schools, 7 after-school programs, The W.C. Reid Community Center, YWCA youth programs, The Swannanoa Youth Development Center and the Blue Brass Project which united youth of Western North Carolina & Tipitinas interns of New Orleans.
LEAF International is a non-profit collaborative outreach program that matches youth globally with instruments and mentors, empowers youth through music, arts, and by connecting to their cultural traditions.
