The LEAP Center: Promoting Academic and Professional Growth
The Center for Law, Engagement, And Politics (LEAP) offers unique learning opportunities related to the fine arts, history, civil rights, literature and, in particular, law, engagement, and politics. Its mission is to promote civic leadership skills by providing educational and professional experiences across all disciplines through programming, volunteerism, experiential learning, and travel. The Center also offers pre-law advising and limited academic advising.
The Center runs the Austin Internship Program, oversees internships with the Political Science department and the City Fellows program, and offers many other program opportunities such as our brand "LEAP Leads" Program.
