What is LEAP?

LEAP is a foundational leadership program created with the aspiring leader in mind. Through active learning on feedback, personal branding, and communication, participants will deepen their self-awareness, expand their network, and refine the skills needed to lead with impact.

This structured blend of individual and cohort-based learning allows participants to grow both professionally and personally, empowered by the support of the LEAP community and a faculty of leaders from across Stanford.

How Does it Work?

In this eight-week program, participants will work through course content in the learning platform and in four virtual live sessions with their cohort. 

Enrollment costs $200 STAP and participants are expected to dedicate approximately 2-3 hours per week to independent study and practical application of course concepts. To graduate, participants must complete all course modules, associated activities, and a capstone project.

Applications are currently closed.
