Latina/o families are not only deeply engaged within their immediate households, but also employ their rich cultural resources between exterior and interior systems in pursuit of education attainment. Through the frameworks of systems ecology theory, this paper demonstrates how funds of knowledge are mobilized through outreach programs and family involvement.
