Hmong American Partnership

HAP is a nonprofit organization focused on empowering the refugee and immigrant community by moving our clients out of poverty and towards social and financial prosperity. HAP was founded in 1990 to serve a growing Hmong community in Minnesota. We are rapidly expanding to address demand for services and, over the last 30 years, have grown to become the largest Hmong nonprofit organization in the United States. We now offer programming across the nation, and we are proud that the broader immigrant and refugee community has sought our services. We now serve approximately 30,000 clients annually and have the staff expertise to serve people from 18 nationalities.

Vision – HAP reaches out to the world with profound social, economic and educational transformation.

Mission – HAP’s mission is to empower the community to embrace the strengths of our cultures while achieving our potential. HAP achieves its mission by:

• Improving the lives of individuals and families in our diverse communities through culturally sensitive social services.
• Strengthening neighborhoods through housing, community and economic development opportunities.
• Promoting the rich heritage of our ethnic communities.
