    I chose this as my resource contribution because I had read the article earlier in the week, but when I read this week's readings, particularly, 'The Call to Service', when the author talked about and 'us' and 'them' mentality and the risk of joining ranks with the very people we are opposing, I could make a relation. There are times when civic engagement can turn ugly and I thought she showed a great example of turning the tides of a mob mentality.

    Civic engagement bonds youth to their communities, inviting them to participate in the power structures and decision-making processes that influence their daily lives. At Sociedad Latina we value and respect youth intelligence, passion, and leadership abilities. We work to combat the trend of disempowered, disengaged youth by creating space in our community for young people to effect meaningful change.

    Cincinnati Public Schools and Ohio's State Board of Education know that parents and families are children's first and most important teachers. Partnerships among families, schools and communities that are child-centered and family-strengthening will guide and motivate students to be productive citizens in a global society.
