Abstract	Low-income African American and Latina adolescent females need extensive support for developing and implementing career plans. This digest discusses ways schools and other institutions can provide an education that furthers career development. Interventions that have been shown to be effective with disadvantaged African American and Latina female students are: (1) school-based initiatives; (2) collaborations between institutions; (3) providing access to career information; (4) ensuring gender equality in occupational information; (5) finding ways to cope with racism, sexism, and discrimination; and (6) providing role models and mentors. Programmatic changes in schools and counseling departments, along with creative collaborations among schools and other institutions in urban areas are needed to meet the career development needs of African American and Latina girls. Organized efforts should be combined with personal encouragement and support from family, teachers, and community members. (Contains 17 references.) (SLD)
