Amistades aspires to strengthen early learning outcomes of vulnerable Latino and American Indian children by developing leadership and building capacity of families, schools and communities to work together to promote success. The Razologia approach to family engagement draws from the strengths of the family to empower them and create lasting community change. The project’s framework will serve as a multi-lingual, multi-cultural model that can be replicated in the family engagement field by other organizations serving marginalized families of color. Razalogia defines success based on the families’ knowledge of raising children to be healthy, school ready & knowledgeable of the importance of actively improving their community.
