About HMONG AMERICAN PARTNERSHIP

Hmong American Partnership (HAP) is a Saint Paul–based nonprofit founded to serve Hmong immigrants and refugees and has grown into one of the largest Hmong-serving organizations in the United States. HAP describes its work as catalyzing economic well-being through education, community support, and entrepreneurship while uplifting Hmong and Southeast Asian American communities.

HAP provides an integrated set of programs including workforce training (HAP Academy OIC), youth and educational services, economic and small-business supports, housing and community development through its subsidiary Hmong National Development (HND), and culturally tailored navigation and mental-health supports. In recent years HAP has expanded digital equity, workforce credentialing, and small-business assistance initiatives aimed at increasing economic mobility for immigrants and refugees in the Twin Cities region.
