The Somali American Parent Association (SAPA) is a Minnesota-based nonprofit in the education administration sector that supports Somali families navigating the American school system. Founded by a parent seeking better communication between the Somali refugee community and schools, SAPA has grown into a multicultural, multigenerational organization that collaborates with partners across the Twin Cities region. Its services include out-of-school-time programming, one-on-one culturally responsive tutoring, assistance in connecting families to educational resources, and training for schools and staff, alongside efforts in parent engagement and community advocacy. The organization aims to help Somali families become knowledgeable about educational opportunities and actively participate in their children’s academic progress. SAPA operates from Minneapolis and serves a community focused on improving educational outcomes through targeted support and resource linkage.
