THE POWER OF MEMBERSHIP
LEAF INTERNATIONAL
Guatemala
A global family connected through music & arts On behalf of LEAF Global Arts
As you settle into your LEAF, we invite you to join us with thankful hearts, open minds & set your mind on Global Citizenship! How do you define "Global Citizenship" and what does it mean to you? The "global citizen" bird was designed by LEAF Rwanda Coordinator Patrick Ntare to represent culture, traditions, peace & freedom without borders.
Enjoy the place, conversations and rediscovering feeling connected to the world and the best of ourselves. We are grateful to have you here at beautiful Lake Eden. This festival marks our 49.5th festival. Thank YOU for keeping LEAF Alive! We look forward to connecting.
LEAF Gratitude & LOVE!

LEAF SCHOOLS & STREETS Your LEAF membership 100% supports Cultural Arts Education programs that use the arts to bridge cultures and create life-affirming, community building experiences - empowering our youth to become global citizens, leaders & agents of positive change! During COVID, members have allowed LEAF to keep the Culture, Youth & Artists supported. The stories keep us inspired to keep going. This is work that is often unseen, yet is the fabric of traditions.
You are collaborating with LEAF and communities in our own neighborhood and around the world to support culture keepers who teach local youth their traditional arts. This is life-changing work! You join a community honoring traditions and cultures... plus there are some benefits for YOU too! Become a LEAF member! Inquiries Membership@theLEAF.org Join at theLEAF.org/Give
