<p>The Idaho Department of Labor, working through a cooperative agreement with the Community Council of Idaho (CCI- Idaho’s Sec. 167 grantee) and through its One Stop partnerships with Idaho’s Vocational Rehabilitation Services, Idaho Department of Education’s Migrant Education Program and other community partners, will serve as a lead organization in coordinating outreach efforts at both the state and service area levels. All partners are dedicated to increasing MSFW customers’ awareness and access to education, training and other services. CCI, as Idaho’s NFJP grantee, is not a subrecipient conducting outreach, but rather a partner in the effort.</p>

<p>In order to protect Idaho’s agricultural labor force from exposure to the COVID virus, the state Monitor Advocate coordinated efforts with St. Luke’s Hospital allowed for the distribution of guidance, posters and other information to agricultural employers and workers across the state. Various health providers in the state aided these efforts by creating awareness and by volunteering during immunization clinics that were organized specifically for Idaho farmworkers. Outreach workers in the areas where these events took place where made aware of these events so they could relay the information to the MSFWs they came across. </p>
