Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Outreach Program
The DES Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker (MSFW) Outreach Program team works in partnership with state agencies and community-based organizations to offer direct assistance to both farmworkers and agricultural employers. The MSFW team consists of multilingual outreach workers who travel throughout the state to areas where farmworkers live and work to ensure that they are informed about job opportunities, their labor rights as farmworkers, and the supportive services that are available through ARIZONA@WORK and our partners.
