The Worcester Educational Development Foundation (WEDF) proudly supports Culture LEAP, an innovative program that connects Worcester Public Schools (WPS) students with the city’s rich cultural and artistic resources. Through partnerships with leading institutions like the Worcester Art Museum and the Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts, students experience firsthand the power of arts and culture as part of their education.
Culture LEAP provides opportunities for students to engage in museum visits, live performances, and interactive arts-based learning that deepen their academic studies while building creativity, confidence, and cultural awareness. These experiences not only expand classroom learning but also foster a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
By supporting Culture LEAP and arts education, WEDF ensures that all Worcester students—regardless of background—have access to enriching cultural opportunities that inspire achievement, broaden horizons, and strengthen connections between school, community, and the arts.
