Here for You

Aquí para Tí (APT) Here for You is a clinic-based development program
for Latino youths ages 11 to 24 and their families.

APT was created in 2002 to support Latino adolescents, who are often being raised in a
culture very different than that of their parents. APT is funded by the Eliminating Health
Disparities Initiative of the the Minnesota Department of Health.

APT is based at Hennepin East Lake Clinic
2700 East Lake Street in Minneapolis

• Meet individually with the doctor and the other members of the APT team
