This chapter provides resources to assist student affairs personnel at community colleges as they interact with students from marginalized groups, students whose experiences in college need to be heard and brought to the center. The resources described are practice oriented and include Web links of professional organizations with further sources of information for each particular marginalized group. Funding opportunities are also identified to help further support community colleges' ability to program, recruit, and retain these marginalized populations. The goal of each community college to serve all students will largely depend on the willingness of administrators, faculty, and staff to critique and confront why certain student groups remain on the margins of their respective campuses.
