Giving Back

Leif Becker's mission is simple: help children break through the struggles that hold them back—whether it's health challenges, emotional pain, bullying, or trauma at home.

Breaking Barriers Building Futures

Through art therapy and martial arts board breaking, kids turn fears and struggles into artwork—then shatter them into pieces. When words are too hard, their art speaks. When barriers feel impossible, they learn they can break through.

Counselors call this program a breakthrough tool for healing and empowerment. It builds confidence, sparks dialogue, and gives children the courage to believe in who they are and what they can become.

In Times Square, Leif broke 12,120 boards in 24 hours—each decorated by a child—symbolically breaking 12,120 barriers in a single day while raising global awareness and funds for children's charities.

Today, he continues to visit schools, hospitals, and organizations worldwide, lifting children's hearts and futures.
