This week-long alternative spring break to Immokalee, Florida focuses on the struggles of migrant farmworkers, a community vital to the success of the agricultural industry but one often forgotten about by consumers. Participants will work with local organizations to learn more about the living and working conditions of migrant farmworkers, and support advocating for this population. Other work may potentially involve community projects related, but not limited, to immigration rights, healthcare, disaster relief, education, and human trafficking.
Applications close Wednesday, October 24th at Noon
