<p>Belonging has been a central concept in research about schools within multiple disciplines. However, research on belonging has often ignored structural factors that influence students’ experiences, especially marginalized youth. In this essay, we seek to expand our conceptualization on youth belonging. We examine the structural factors and contexts that affect youths’ sense of belonging, with a focus on Latino immigrant youth. We identify meso-level factors that impact immigrant youths’ belonging, such as adult and peer relationships and their schools’ racial climate, as well as macro-level factors including racialization processes and immigration policies. We advance discussions about school belonging to include social belonging and the structural and racialized dimensions of belonging. Finally, we provide examples of promising research that show how institutions can provide immigrant youth with a sense of belonging both within and outside of schools and contribute to their larger sense of social belonging. We end with directions for future research on building a structural and racialized view of youth belonging.</p>
