I was needing health insurance and I went to Ramsey County. They helped me but they didn't know all the answers to my questions. My Social Worker recommended me to come to Hmong American Partnership. The HAP Navigator assisted me but there was a pending status on my application. HAP staff helped me and got my pending application approved through the State MNsure. I was so happy because now I have health care coverage. I'm going to refer my daughter too because she needs insurance.

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Family Services, Group Health Practices, Health, Human Service Organizations, Human Services
Mission: Hmong American Partnership (HAP) is a social service and community development organization whose mission is to empower the community to embrace strengths of our cultures while achieving our potential. HAP was established to address the needs of Minnesota's growing population, and has since expanded to serve community members from a wide variety of cultural and ethnic groups.
Target demographics: Empower the community to embrace the strengths of our cultures while achieving our potential
Direct beneficiaries per year: 15,000 clients within the Twin Cities Metropolitan area
Geographic areas served: Twin Cities Metropolitan Area and nationally in California, MIssouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, North Carolina and Washington D.C.
Programs: Transportation: Transportation is one of the biggest barriers to accessing programs and services. As a result of this, HAP provides transportation to participants across all program areas. In 2011, due to cultural, language, and communication barriers, hap was called upon to extend its transportation service to school age children. During the 2015 school year, hap transported over 1,700 students between their homes and four Hmong charter schools. Having bilingual staff who could communicate with students and parents was necessary in order to build trust and foster greater program outcomes.
Education and Training: Adult Basic Education classes include English language and literacy, math, digital literacy and job preparation classes. In 2015, HAP served more than 454 adult learners in these classes. The Hmong Karen Youth Pride out-of-school-time program operated in five elementary and middle schools in 2015 and provided quality after school instruction and in school support to more than 294 students in grades 2-8.
Employment Services: Includes employment assessment, job search, job placement and retention, support services, and hands-on job skill training. HAP is a provider of the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) in Ramsey and Hennepin counties, as well as the refugee employment services (res) and refugee social services (rss) programs of the Minnesota Department of Human Services. In 2015, we provided employment services to over 2,000 participants and placed 671 in employment.
