The U.S. Census Bureau projects that by 2050, children of Latino origin will number 28 million and constitute the largest proportion (39%) of the school-age population (Behr, Marston & Nelson, 2014). How these children grow and develop will have a huge impact on the future condition of California. Many of these Latino students come from low-income immigrant households and are faced with adversity at a very young age. (Williams, Barnes, and Hunt, 2014) Gangs, substance abuse, incarceration and unprotected sex are issues that commonly occur in low-income neighborhoods. (Hartmann, Good, & Edmonds, 2011) Research shows that adolescents making the transition from middle school to high school often do not possess the coping strategies or resources to overcome the drastic transition of changing schools locations Location: FAH 130
