Purchase
“Latina Girls is the first book to pull together research on the overall
strengths and strategies that characterize Latina adolescents' lives in the U.S.
It will be of key interest and practical use to those who study and work with
Latina youth. The volume offers solid data and suggestions for practical
intervention for those who study and work to support this population. It
highlights the challenges these young women face, as well as the ways in which
they successfully negotiate those challenges. The volume includes research on
Latinas and their relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners;
academics; career goals; identity; lifelong satisfaction; and the ways in which
they navigate across cultures and gender roles.”

“The federal child nutrition programs provide crucial
funding for meals and snacks in afterschool, summer, and
before school programs. To make it easier for out-of-school
time programs to participate, this resource center provides
information on how the child nutrition programs operate, how
to access the programs, and how to make them a part of your
programs.” |
