Answer

The Foster Child Tutoring Endeavor program is projected to begin January 2020. This program will connect current and retired educators with foster children to assist in achieving academic success.

Answer

Due to privacy concerns and state regulations, GAP will never post facial images or videos of the foster children we serve.

Answer

GAP'S founder and some Board Directors volunteered with a nonprofit called, Friends of Wednesday's Child (FOWC). Prior to closing their doors in 2017, the orginaztion was highly successful in serving foster children through various projects. Our company's 5013(c) status was formed to fill in the gap for the projects and programs that made a big impact in our community. As volunteers on the frontline, we have witnessed and understand the importance of investing in our future generation of leaders.

Answer

The birthday project will be made available to all school age (8 to 19) foster children in Collin, Cooke, Dallas, Denton, Tarrant, and Wise counties. The Foster Child Tutoring Endeavor Program will initially be open to middle school and high school students in Dallas and Tarrant County.
