Tara Ramsay and Alejandra Gudino:
Migrant Farm
Workers Interview Workshop
Abstract
Federal migrant programs that assist seasonal
and migrant farm workers with things such as health and education often have a
majority of Latino clients. To take advantage of these programs to the
fullest extend, Latino-serving organizations and school should be aware of how
to identify migrant families. In this workshop, we will discuss various
federal definitions of "migrant" and how to interview families to
evaluate their migrant status. We will demonstrate interview techniques
and allow participants to practice these interview skills. Participants will
become aware of what information is necessary to define a family as migrant and
the difficulties involved in acquiring this information.
