Grands As Parents

Grands As Parents Inc. (G.A.P.S) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1996 in North Central Philadelphia, dedicated to supporting and advocating for the rights of grandparents and relative caregivers who have taken on parenting roles for their grandchildren. The organization operates under the belief that "it takes a village to raise a child" and collaborates with other community organizations to address the unique challenges faced by these caretakers.

Comprised of grandmothers, grandfathers, and relative caregivers, G.A.P.S aims to provide essential support services and advocacy for households led by these caregivers, who often step into parental roles due to various circumstances such as the absence or struggles of the children's biological parents. Through its initiatives, G.A.P.S is committed to helping both caregivers and children thrive as they navigate the complexities of family dynamics.
