Examines the problem of street children in Latin America and the role of social work in community responses. The extent of the problem is reviewed along with the four major existing responses. Several difficulties confronting social workers in responding to this problem are reviewed. It is the position of the authors that several approaches are required to address this difficult problem in ways that empower children and families. In addition this article suggests that social work educators should assume leadership roles in assisting communities to understand the complex nature of the problem and approaches which empower children and families.
