Guadalupe Alternative Programs (GAP) is a community-based education and social service agency serving at-risk individuals throughout the Twin Cities. GAP’s mission is to empower communities challenged by transition and poverty through education and enrichment opportunities, social and emotional support, and training that leads to employment. GAP serves children and youth at high-risk of school failure, and immigrants and refugees seeking to create a better life in this country.
To ensure youth are cognitively, socially, and emotionally equipped to succeed, our programming maintains a focus on three critical goals: 1) Educating our students by providing at-risk adolescents a safe, structured environment to learn and grow; 2) Supporting our students with comprehensive counseling and support services that are socially and culturally sensitive; and 3) Empowering our students with a continuum of training that builds personal leadership as well as job and career awareness/readiness.
