Kinship support and extended family member networks have been linked to positive outcomes for adolescents, particularly for minority students. This study aims to enhance prior research by focusing on family factors that contribute to positive youth outcomes in a sample of high achieving, predominantly African American youth. The current study examined the relationship between extended family member presence in the home and student outcomes, and the mediating role of parenting practices. The relation between extended family member presence in the home and perceived kinship support was also examined. The sample was comprised of 590 students who entered the Meyerhoff Scholarship Program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) from 1991 to 2010. No relation was found between extended family member presence in the home and perceived kinship support. Additionally, significant relations were not found between extended family member presence in the home and academic and psychological outcomes. However, exploratory analyses revealed a significant relation between kinship support and parenting practices. The findings provide limited support for the relation between extended family involvement and adolescent outcomes in this select sample of minority youth. The implications of the findings are discussed.
