== Our Vision and Mission ==
Helping Give Away Psychological Science (HGAPS pronounced as two syllables: "H-Gaps") is a volunteer-based non-profit (501c3) that is dedicated to helping the best information about psychological science reach the people who would benefit. HGAPS aims to bridge the gap between students, clinicians, researchers, and the public by creating and spreading accessible and free resources. We bring together students and content experts to gather and present the best information about psychological science to the people who benefit. We aim to link Wikipedia (and Google) with high-quality resources and information about psychological science, improving the next generation of training, and creating tools that help practitioners and researchers.

The official vision and mission statements (approved by the Board in Summer 2021) are: 

'''Vision:''' Share psychological science to help improve lives.

'''Mission:''' Bridge the science-practice gap by collecting, distilling, and sharing psychological science to promote well-being in the community.



'''Important note:''' 

The HGAPS Wikimedia User group is one of the most important parts of the many ways that HGAPS is executing its mission objectives. One of the goals for 2021-2022 is to better document here and on Wikiversity what HGAPS has been doing outside of Wiki. Having better documentation visible here will improve communication and coordination of activities. A strategic goal is to increase partnerships between content experts and professionals with little or no experience with Wiki paired with experienced Wikimedians. Success will require building bridges between existing communities inside and outside of Wiki.

This page will undergo rapid updates for the remainder of 2023, sharing the "back catalog" of activities outside of Wiki that will make the range and scope of activity more visible to the Wiki communities.
