Migrant Education
Because children of migrant farm workers move so frequently to accommodate harvest demands, they often fall behind their non-migrant peers developmentally, socially and educationally. The Migrant Education program works to ensure that migrant students receive educational services necessary to develop to their fullest potential.
The Migrant Education program annually provides supplemental educational services to over 2,000 children in Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties, and in the city of Philadelphia.
Specific services include:
- educational support services
- extended school-day programs
- summer programs
- pre-school instruction
- parental involvement
- post-secondary orientation programs
- health and social service agency referrals
- leadership skills development
- survival skills
