LEDA is a nonprofit organization in the higher education sector that supports a community of high-achieving students from under-resourced backgrounds by assisting them through college and into professional pathways. Based in New York City, LEDA aims to contribute to an inclusive and equitable America by ensuring leadership reflects diverse perspectives. Its work centers on helping students who have been historically underrepresented at selective institutions, providing programs and pathways that support higher education success. The organization emphasizes leadership development and access to opportunities that broaden postsecondary outcomes. A recent development is Yale College partnering with LEDA in 2024 to host summer programs for rising high-school seniors from underrepresented backgrounds. LEDA has also expanded its program portfolio through collaborations such as the LEDA Media Fellows Program with Edelman Smithfield, and its growth since 2009 includes initiatives like College Success, Career and Alumni Services, and the Policy Project.
