Understanding how an organization approaches working with families and their schools; how organization staff attempt to build understanding, trust, communication, and ultimately relationships between families and schools they work with; and how they attempt to develop the community's capacity for mutually beneficial engagement--in particular, its sociocultural capital--as well as the schools' cultural competence, sheds light on the brokering process and demonstrates the critical role that community-based organizations can play in bridging existing gaps between schools and recent immigrant families in low-income communities. application/pdf en_US Copyright is held by the individual authors.
