Influencing Latino Education: Church-Based Community Programs

This article discusses a case study about the educational projects of two church-based community programs in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The author examines the understanding that five women community workers in these organizations have about community. Their understanding about community is used to analyze the grassroots educational programs’ relationship with the public school system in Harrisburg. Last, the knowledge base that exists in these programs is identified, and the ways in which schools could use this knowledge to promote the success of Latino students are considered.
