Into the Fields Summer Programs
The application deadline for the Into the Fields Internship & Fellowship Programs is February 3, 2019.
Last year, twenty-five Into the Fields interns and fellows supported nearly 6,000 farmworkers by working full-time with migrant education programs, legal aid offices, rural health clinics, community-based organizations, and farmworker unions. They worked on various projects including a computers & connectivity pilot project, focus groups, health education, research, ESL lessons, transportation, lobbying, and campaign actions. In addition, SAF interns and fellows used popular theater and a participatory documentary project to inform farmworkers about their rights and learn about their life experiences.
P.S. You can still register to be an National Farmworker Awareness Week partner this spring (March 25-31, 2019). To learn please visit the NFAW page: https://www.saf-unite.org/content/national-farmworker-awareness-week
