| The Geneseo Migrant Center
works closely with other New York State migrant service agencies to
share training, technical assistance, and expertise in several program
areas. The Migrant Education Outreach Program (MEOP) Consortium links
the Center, Cornell University's Migrant Program, and local MEOPs at
Batavia, Brockport, Cortland, East Bloomfield, Fredonia, Herkimer, New
Paltz, Oneonta, Oswego, Potsdam (North Country), and Riverhead
(Suffolk-Nassau Counties).
Migrant Even Start and CONNECTIONS work
through local MEOPs to support family literacy and parent involvement
with schools. WIN (Women in the Nineties) and GAIN (Getting Ahead in the
Nineties) workshops for young women and men also have state-wide
impacts.
In 1988, the Center joined with other
organizations to form Working Together, a regional migrant service
agency alliance. Working Together coordinates inter-agency programs. It
also networks with other advocates to call for changes in state laws
affecting migrants. Farmworker Advocacy Day is an annual event at the
State Capitol in Albany. |
