Goals
To advocate for Somali students and parents. The Somali parents and their children are newly arrived immigrants who have enormous limitations in culture as well as academic needs. Hence, it is the responsibility of SAPA with help of other Minnesota organizations to advocate for these immigrants who are Minnesotan residents. SAPA will identify and study the exact problems and needs of the Somali parents and their children, and then it will target and deal collaboratively with these organizations.  Finally, SAPA will always use a mediatory approach and negotiations in tackling issues.
