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.
