What Strategies Should El Roble Implement in Order to Best Facilitate the Integration of its Immigrant Childrin Within the Center?

Abstract

El Roble is an afterschool program whose participants consists of nonimmigrant and immigrant children. Immigrants’ children that participate at El Roble confront educational and social impediments along with discrimination limiting their future success. Four main issues at El Roble are lack of support, lack of consistency in participant attendance, lack of collaboration between the school, parents, and El Roble, and bullying. Introducing sexual education, interactive and artistic classes, anti-bullying teachings, and parent workshops are strategies El Roble can implement allowing immigrants’ children to become integrated into the center.
