“Latino community-based organizations (CBOs) represent a natural, yet largely untapped, source of leadership and opportunities to encourage and strengthen Latino parental involvement in American schools.” While Latinos are the fastest growing segment in the U.S., their students remain severely undereducated and maintain some of the highest dropout rates nationwide.
