We strive to bridge gaps in resources and opportunities, partnering with communities and agencies to offer personalized services that advance social justice and racial equity.
the education GAP
Educational attainment is a key determinant of economic stability and personal growth, yet only 22% of Pinellas County residents hold a Bachelor's degree, and 26.6% have just a high school diploma or equivalent. This education gap limits opportunities and perpetuates cycles of poverty. We believe that education should be accessible to all, regardless of background or income, and we are working to provide educational resources and support to help individuals achieve their full potential.

the mental health services GAP
Access to mental health services is a critical component of overall
well-being, yet many individuals in our community face significant barriers to obtaining the care they need. The gap in mental health services exacerbates issues like stress, anxiety, and depression, which can impact all aspects of life, including employment and relationships. At Mind the GAP Together Inc., we are dedicated to closing this gap by ensuring that everyone has access to the mental health support necessary to lead a healthy, balanced life.

the economic GAP
The income gap in Pinellas County is stark, with a median household income of $61,947, which is below the state median. This disparity means that many families are struggling to make ends meet, often living paycheck to paycheck. At Mind the GAP Together Inc., we are focused on addressing this income gap by providing job training, financial literacy programs, and employment support to help individuals secure better-paying jobs and achieve financial stability.
OUR
STORY
FROM BARRIERS TO BRIDGES
At Mind the Gap Together, Inc., we believe lasting change starts with access. Every day, individuals and families in Pinellas County face real, compounding gaps—in education, mental health care, employment, and economic opportunity.
Rather than duplicating services, we partner with local organizations to fill in the gaps—offering resource navigation, group counseling, application support, employment guidance, and more. Our approach is trauma-informed, people-centered, and rooted in equity.
We're not here to lead—we’re here to walk beside.
Because everyone deserves the chance to move forward.
our Amazing Partners
