I agree with Johanna about including the Latino community, but I see a real need for a modified Jump In for those kids agest 10 through 16.  There are a select few that work through the cultural issues and graduate from high school and go on to college, but I see so many who don't want to be here, cause trouble and never take advantage of improving their lives or the lives of their families - ie, they can't get out of their cultural warp...
