Client Population: 

As we know, our client population and geographic areas in which we provide services are majority Hispanic/Latino(a). It is imperative to understand the populations we serve. It is also very important to remember the various factors that impact the population that we serve. With that being said: 

1. Conduct research on the Hispanic/Latino(a) population in Prince Georges County Cities such as Hyattsville, Langley Park, and Riverdale. 

2. Choose an article to review and summarize. 

3. Be sure that article focuses on factors such as immigration, deportation, being undocumented, and the impact of being a second generation American/Latino(a). 

4. Review should be 2 pages at the least, including a summary and key points. 

Always remember, demographics of a population matters THE MOST! Especially, as it pertains to risk and safety!
