Mission Statement: 

GRASP is committed to the academic success of inner-city school age youth and will forge a team with parent, school, community, and after-school working together to address the educational needs of each child. Furthermore, we seek to help children discover and develop their innate gifts and talents to the fullest potential and to provide advocacy and support to parents in their quest for the well-being and success of their children.
