Mission & Mandate

Picture
Mission
The Gravenhurst Against Poverty Mission is to be an inclusive, collaborative, community-based organization which supports people in difficulty by identifying issues and resources and providing timely solutions in the Greater Gravenhurst Area. G.A.P.’s mission has evolved to support the social inclusion and well-being of vulnerable children and youth. There is a strong focus on the development of a Young Adult Centre and Community Hub.
