The Leap Year Project Information

The goal of the Leapyear Project is to ask people worldwide to commit to taking a risk for good in 2012 that will change something and make a difference. Risks for good can be big or small, take place on one day or everyday. Anyone can get involved in taking a risk for good right now. Everyone has had ideas, dreams, and thoughts about creating change in their lives or around the world, and the project is focused on turning these ideas into a firm commitment. It's easy to get involved. Choose a project that could change your world, share your progress through the hashtag (#lyproject) and inspire others to do the same. The project is using social media not only to help people stay accountable to their ideas, but to inspire others by making these changes easily visible and shareable. The project will culminate with the creation of a book that documents the collective risks taken in 2012 and the curation of an art exhibit that will serve as a physical representation of the project.
