Current Narrative:
To maintain service levels, outreach services will be supplemented to the extent possible through partner agencies. Informal cooperative agreements with other public and private social service agencies, such as local providers of the NFJP, will be established in order to provide joint outreach efforts to the MSFW population. Approximately 800 additional contacts will be made per program year via nonfinancial agreements with cooperating agencies. To further support this initiative, a memorandum of understanding has been enacted with the Florida Department of Education’s FCDP, the state’s NFJP grantee, to outline these outreach efforts. The memorandum of understanding lays out requirements for significant career center outreach staff and FCDP local provider staff to provide required information on the other partner’s programs and services during individual outreach efforts, to conduct outreach jointly when feasible, and to report outreach activities and contacts to the other party. Career centers having some agricultural activity but that do not meet the ten percent criteria for the significant career center designation will also be required to set up nonfinancial agreements with cooperating agencies.
The MSFW outreach workers will maintain a continuing relationship with all community groups, public agencies and advocacy groups interested in the welfare of farmworkers. Contact will be made with agricultural employers for possible job openings, and the outreach workers will assist career center staff with recruiting MSFWs for those specific job orders.
