The Ascent Project
Ashview Heights
TAP’s roots stretch back to 2001 through Integral Youth and Family Project, Inc., an initiative created to enrich and empower residents in urban communities through education, enrichment, and human development. The Ascent Project was begun in 2018 to continue and expand that work.
That foundation still matters. TAP was built on the understanding that community development is about more than buildings. Lasting community strength depends on people having the opportunity to learn, grow, work, connect, and participate fully in the places they call home.
As TAP enters its next chapter, we are expanding that proven philosophy across a broader network of communities and partners. Our goal is not to belong to one property, one developer, or one funding source. Our goal is to bring a strong, adaptable human-development model wherever communities and partners are ready to invest in resident success.
To create long term stability in urban, under-served, communities through implementation of a comprehensive model of human and community development. TAP’s proven model focuses on supporting both the needs and the potential of individuals and families.
To build thriving, inclusive communities of lifelong learning where every individual has equal opportunity to fulfill their potential and lead fulfilling lives. We aspire to create a future in which the necessary resources, opportunities, and support systems for personal growth, empowerment, and community development are easily accessible.
