ABOUT GASP

The Grattan After School Program

GASP (Grattan After School Program) Mission Statement: GASP provides an inclusive and joyful after school program where everyone from Grattan Elementary is welcome. GASP builds community and provides interest-based enrichment and recreation, as well as academic opportunities each day. We support students in their academic, physical, social and emotional development and are an inclusive program that supports the Grattan community. We strive to serve every student at Grattan Elementary School that needs after school care. We provide after school programming and service every day that SFUSD schools are open, and close our program on the days that SFUSD schools are closed, including breaks and holidays.

GASP as a Nonprofit

GASP has a rich history of community involvement and support. The program was founded by Grattan Elementary School families in the late 1970’s to serve the needs of the Grattan community. From 1978-2002, GASP operated under the Haight Ashbury Community Development Corporation. In 2002, GASP became a standalone 501 nonprofit organization directly overseen and supported by a Board of Directors made up of current Grattan Elementary School families.
