Abstract
-
The purpose of this study was to test an approach to organizing based on three major propositions: (1) Currently migrants from the Dominican Republic are not able to effectively influence the policies and programs of agencies serving them. (2) The needs of the Dominican in the city may be different from the needs of those population groups represented at the decision making levels. (3) As a result, the needs of the Dominican population in the city may not be properly met.;The objectives of this project were: (1) To identify key people to whom immigrants from Santo Domingo turn to for help and who constitute the informal leaders of the community. (2) To involve them in a process of needs assessment as a vehicle to (3) Establish an organization to work on behalf of the Dominican community.;Methodology. Key informants, informal leaders and resource persons were identified and interviewed. A group of informed leaders was brought together with the purpose of identifying the needs of the Dominican community, setting priorities and developing an action plan to address the needs identified in light of the priorities selected.
