Latino Family Outreach & Support

Conexiones is a member of the Community Service Council of Greater Tulsa and works closely with TACSI supporting efforts to engage Latino families in all our community school sites, in addition to Tulsa Public School’s East Central Junior High and Hale Junior High Schools.

Conexiones focuses on the following objectives within TACSI schools:

• Facilitating family engagement programs that empower Latino families with tools and resources they can use to support their child’s academic success
• Connecting community schools to Latino-serving community-based organizations and services, especially through school based programs
• Providing technical assistance through Spanish bilingual cultural responsiveness trainings for community school staff to increase their capacity to effectively engage their Latino students and families

For more information on how Conexiones supports TACSI schools, please contact Conexiones program manager Christina Starzl Mendoza at 918.699.4223 or by email
