the area of family relationships, cultural/emotional health and
school performance.
Family Relationships
- Provide clear understanding of school expectations to parents and/or
guardians of minority students and provide link to school administration,
teachers, school related services. Example: Family events in the park prior to
the start of school which include informational sessions about school

source of communication.
Cultural/Emotional Health
- Provide culturally specific experiences for students of culture to create a
sense of belonging/connectedness and to raise levels of awareness as it
relates to students’ role in the school and the community at large. Example, a

students to learn of their own culture and a setting where students can
experience wholesome fun within the Marshall community like bowling or ice
skating.
School Performance
- Improve student motivation to attend school, to achieve in school and to
participate in school related activities. For example, work with student mentors
from both the High School and University as well as peers to experience
success in the area of academics and to experience a comfort zone to enable
them to feel comfortable to participate in school supported activities.
B. To attend Community Services monthly program meetings and
provide information to supervisors in the form of monthly reports.
