Oak Park Residents, Civic Organizations, Community Leaders & City
Officials
Build Social Capitol amongst Austin Village and Oak Park
Residents
Host collaborative School- Family-Community events and
coordinate community projects.

have fewer opportunities to benefit from the kinds of social networks associated with upward
mobility

Officials Promote Cross- Cultural Awareness and Coordinate Racial Equity Educational Opportunities.
Utilize school resources (gym and/or classrooms), to provide
a neutral, safe space for authentic dialogue. Partner
with racial equity organizations to coordinate relationship building activities
among the diverse communities.
Residential segregation "breeds closed mindedness and racist ideals. It allows stereotypes and
misconceptions to control [our] thinking. It fosters a dehumanizing effect that is placed on
people we don't know or understand. Not to mention all of the unequal opportunities that residents have depending on the neighborhood
that they inhabit...Getting to know different cultures and types of people expands our knowledge and allows us to dispel myths we once
perceived of other cultures, races, and religions. Having neighborhoods where there is more
equality gives equal opportunities for all residents" (Ferdinand, 2016, p.165).

students are best met when family, school, and community members partner to articulate the
community’s goals for its students, and to help design, implement and evaluate activities” (Jacobson, Stefanski, & Valli, 2016, p. 733).
