Immokalee, Florida, located in Southwest Florida, is the home of a large migrant population where nearly one-third of the population lives below the poverty line and only one-third are high school graduates. Migrant farmworkers in and around Immokalee make up some of the most exploited workers in the country, facing challenges such as unfair wages and harassment. In the past decade, many grassroots organizations, including the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, have had tremendous success building nationwide campaigns to fight for the rights of these workers. Groups will learn about the campaigns, meet the workers, and gain a deep understanding of the life and conditions of migrant workers in Southwest Florida — and the inspirational ways they are organizing for change.

Depending on housing and number of participants, the cost per participant is between $300 and $500, not including roundtrip travel to/from Southwest Florida.
