Cover Story: The article presents findings from a four-year research project on belonging among mixed-status and immigrant Latiné families in Santa Cruz County, California, using an innovative model of community-engaged scholarship called Community-Initiated Student-Engaged Research (CISER). Drawing on theories of belonging, we identify six key themes: access to education, economic security, immigration status, health access, youth opportunities, and social networks. Findings reveal the complex ways immigration status affects socioeconomic and political standing. The article highlights the importance of first-person accounts and the CISER model’s participatory approach. Results point towards institutional strategies to enhance belonging and insights on how mixed-status families promote belonging through resistance and coalition building. View this paper
