Description: Building on a 10-year case study of a successful school-university partnership, the authors examine the supports, mentoring, and resources needed to transform the college opportunities and life chances for under-represented urban youth. Because this partnership situates college access within a social justice framework, it is one of the more unique programs in the country.

Review Quotes:

"This qualitative depiction of a school-university partnership includes real students and mentors in order to bring life to the sobering statistics regarding access to higher education for Black and Latino students. Expanding College Access for Urban Youth is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the broad field of social justice and for those seeking to enact change."
