Minority Youth Project Analysis

For example seeing that Southeast Asians have the highest high school dropout rate (Le, 2011), we find it is due to the lack of resources available. This Summer Bridge program will address the issue of how the model minority myth that exists is actually not true and provide opportunities for Southeast Asian Americans in their college decision process. Furthermore, the Summer Bridge program will specifically help high school students who are in junior or senior year standing to get into four year universities. The program will start in the summer going into their junior year. They will direct target high schools that come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and have the lowest graduation rates and have the most Southeast Asian American backgrounds. The Summer Bridge program will be made up of three pathways, which will be counseling, outreach, and internship

Racial and ethnic disparities persist in the juvenile justice system leading to disparate impact. In 2011 youth of color represented about 45 percent of total youth in the U.S., but accounted for more than 70 percent of youth detained in the juvenile justice system (JJIE, 2015). In 2014 a partnership between San Diego City Heights residents, Peace Promotion Momentum, and stakeholders within the juvenile justice system in San Diego selected the National Conflict Resolution Center and San Diego Youth Services to pilot the Restorative Community Conference (RCC) as an alternative to the juvenile justice system for youth offenders. RCC has three goals: hold youth offender accountable in a non-punitive way, facilitating victim-centered

Arizona State University has been deemed one of the most diverse universities because their ethnic diversity is described as above average. However, according to the racial demographics, more than half of the students at this university are Caucasian. In my opinion, providing a setting for students that is culturally diverse is one of the most important aspects of a college campus. While Arizona State University has somewhat diverse campuses, it seems as if minorities are outnumbered. Being an African American student of ASU has inspired me to want to be a part of projects and events that advocate for African Americans. More specifically, being an African American woman has been a huge inspiration. It has inspired me because I have heard

This evaluation is focused on a school district with 3, 000 high school students in New Jersey. The statistics were gathered from the student management system for this school district the 3,0000 high school students attend two high schools {High School “A” and High School “B”} during the 2014-15 school year. The racial makeup consists of: high school “A”, 78.6 percent of students identified as white, 14.8 Hispanic, 3.3 percent black and 2.7 percent Asian. At high school “B”, 82.8 percent of students were white, followed by 8.4 percent Hispanic, 5.5 percent black and 2.6 percent Asian. The overall graduation rate at High School “A” was 80 percent, and at High School “B”, 87 percent of students graduate.

Small liberal arts institutions throughout the nation admit a variety of students possessing different backgrounds, experiences, and aspirations into their campuses every year. At Kalamazoo College, previous research conducted in 2013 stated that the student body at K had become more diverse in regards to ethnicity, country of origin, and race (Dueweke, 2013). The findings presented by this study demonstrated that both students of color and white students were in the early stages of their racial/ethnic identity development which made sense on their struggles to understand their

On September 30, 2009 the AVID Center announced the Culturally Relevant Site Team (CREST) schools for its African American Male Initiative (AAMI) in order to address raising achievement and other issues, such as recruitment and retention, that affect the academic success of young African American males. The need for the AAMI is evident specifically at Evans High School, where there has been a declining trend for the past three years of a reduction in the male to female ratio in AVID from a cohort’s freshman year to their senior year. This may have been attributed to a number of factors such as not meeting the

Wood and Hilton (2012) completed a semi-structural study that identified factors that affected African American male students in community college by taking a data from 28 participants in a southwest community college. Though this study is a small study that does not generalizable for community colleges, it was useful in identifying recommendations for increasing student success. This study is considered valid because of member-checks and inter-coder reliability (Wood and Hilton, 2012). This study found that having creating awareness surrounding campus resources, bring role models to campus, and organizing African American programs were instrumental in student success (Wood and Hilton, 2012). Two additional studies, one done by Wood and Turner (2011) and the other one by Harrison and Palacious (2014) did qualitative research that focused on the impact the student-faculty engagement practices. Both research studies found that student-faculty interactions were imperative in for the success of the African American male

Thank you for providing me with a realistic view of how Cuyahoga can increase their ability to reach the African-American, Hispanic-American, and Asian-American population. I appreciated your thoughts about identifying barriers that affect enrollment for this population. This is where Cuyahoga could implement mentors to help this population of students to transition into their learning environment. This population need to become familiar and feel that they can be part of the learning environment at Cuyahoga; subsequently, this must start during the admission process through their first year of attendance to prevent these students from leaving early.

　　Participation - 239 undergraduate college students attending a private Christian liberal arts college in Greenville , Illinois were used as participants. The students were selected at random. Greenville College is mostly made up of white students and staff.

In the history of the United States of America, the laws and policies that were conceived and passed were part of the plan to benefit certain interest groups. These groups who have laws and policies to their favor are part of the majority since they are widely represented in congress. In parallel to that, there are certain groups who are underrepresented in politics; these are known as the minority groups. Several factors are used to describe the characteristics of a minority group: physical or cultural traits, unequal treatment and less power over their lives, involuntary membership in a group, a strong sense of group solidarity, and high in-group marriage. In general, someone who is from a minority group will have less opportunities available

Market specifics need to be carefully analyzed and marketers should become familiar with the data for each. In order to market a brand or specific goods/services, marketers should be sensitive to each group and shouldn’t be afraid to tap into each market. Below is information on the three largest minority groups in the United States and what each one prefers.

With steady surges in the quantity of applications and the standards of universities as a whole, the college admissions process today is far more competitive than it was even ten years ago. In an already highly charged, competitive process, one cannot help but question if it is fair for colleges to consider an applicant’s race when determining his or her fate. There is no denying that where one attends college drastically shapes his or her future. The relationships an individual forms in college along with his or her potential internships and job opportunities after college vary widely depending on the specific school said person chooses to attend. Because affirmative action can either help or harm a student’s chances of getting into a college, it holds the power to change

Due to limited finances, many of Washington D.C.’s minority students do not have equal opportunities in education. The public education campaign plans to promote minority education and engage the entire Washington D.C. community in the education process to present a comprehensive, engaging, affordable program and create far-reaching opportunities for minority students. To keep track of the goals and objectives, the campaign will use different methods to evaluate the success and/or failure of the campaign.

This study hopes to build on the work of Tyson H. Brown et. al (2016) while experimenting with a new theoretical framework for understanding minority status. This study seeks to bolster understanding regarding the multiple-hierarchy approach on analyzing minority status by continuing to unpack the multiple-hierarchy approach using successful measures within the field of Socioeconomic Status and health. Then, try out new measures, utilizing an older theoretical framework of stress and status, in hopes of greatly simplifying and standardizing the current double jeopardy and triple jeopardy paradigm of

The four concepts that I have chosen to discuss in this chapter is the important of diversity, importance of having a healthy relationship with teachers, day-to-day circles and the influence on family.
