Your support is vital to our mission.

Your Support Inspires Social Interest In Action

The Adler Graduate School is a 501(c)3 which prepares mental health professionals and leaders in helping people change their lives. We work within the dynamic communities of the Twin Cities, Minnesota, our country, and the world by addressing a wide range of needs related to the mental health and well-being of individuals, couples, families, and organizations.

Supporting Excellence

The excellence of our students has been a great asset to the community. We hear from individuals and communities far and wide how much our alums impact the communities in which they live. Yet, the truth is, attending college is getting increasingly challenging and our future students need your help. With simple donations from our alumni, community partners, and friends, we can make a difference for the next generation of aspiring mental health professionals.

Founders Spirit Fund

The Founders Spirit Fund at Adler Graduate School is a tribute to the visionary founders who, in 1967, built the institution on the pillars of Adlerian psychology and social change. This fund not only symbolizes their lasting impact on counseling in Minnesota and beyond, but also champions the next wave of mental health professionals who reflect the Adlerian tenets of empathy, equality, and community. Actively supporting faculty growth, scholarships, and community outreach programs, the fund ensures Adler Graduate School’s stability, longevity, and continued relevance and service in the field and to the communities our graduates serve, ensuring the legacy of the founders thrives for years to come.

John F. Newbauer

As a graduate of Adler Graduate School, I joined the AGS Alumni Association to participate in their professional development (Institute) training which provides CEU credits at reduced prices. The classes were excellent and were presented by knowledgeable instructors. This gave me an opportunity for productive networking, information about new research in my field and above all, a sense of community with other AGS graduates, students and staff.

As an Adler alum and practicing MFT, I am extremely grateful to AGS for sponsoring continuing education opportunities. The topics are timely, varied, and educational – and the credits are affordable. PLUS, Ev has already done the time-consuming job of obtaining the CEs from the various Boards. THANK YOU!!!
