About Us

 

Hmong American Partnership (HAP) is a non-profit organization focused on moving the refugee and immigrant community 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 in the last 25 years we have grown to become the largest Hmong non-profit organization in the United States. We now offer programming across the nation. HAP is proud that the broader immigrant and refugee community has sought our services, and we serve approximately 7,000 clients annually and have the staff expertise to serve people from 18 nationalities. 

 

We have a unique service model designed by and for the community we serve. Our approach blends social enterprise and economic development with education and family support. The in-depth knowledge of Southeast Asian and immigrant and refugee community, coupled with a commitment to economic advancement, is driving amazing outcomes and award winning programming.
