Welcome to LEAP Tampa Bay
LEAP Tampa Bay is a network of over 60 community partners who connect residents to education and training opportunities beyond high school.
With the strong partnerships we’ve built in the community, LEAP Tampa Bay helps to accelerate and amplify the work that is already underway to increase completion of post-secondary education.
Our mission is to transform lives by leveraging the power of community collaboration to accelerate personal, workforce, and community prosperity through education.
Ultimately, our goal is that 60% of working age adults in the Tampa Bay area will receive a degree, certificate, or high-quality credential by 2025.
