Abstract
Academic and economic indicators for students from low-income and minority backgrounds continue to draw concern, and disparities should not be addressed without first determining what goals are relevant to students. This case study centered on a group of primarily Marshallese students from a low-income housing complex participating in a non-academic summer youth development program in West Hawai‘i. Utilizing observations of program activities, semi-structured group and individual interviews, and archival documents, I gathered insights about these students’ goals, connections, and obstacles. In addition to asking about the cultural relevance of the program, the study explored how the students’ future plans were related to their own personal interests and those of their families and their communities. Implications from the findings could inform culturally relevant teaching efforts and future youth development programs.
