The MMESC migrant recruiters are responsible for recruiting migrant children into the Migrant Education Program. Recruiters locate children through referrals from local school districts, farms and agribusinesses, community partners and agencies, and other migrant families. Once a migrant family is identified, recruiters interview family members to determine if the children are eligible for migrant education services. Recruiters also help migrant families find other services that they may be eligible for. If you know of a family that may be eligible for migrant services, contact the Mississippi Migrant Education Service Center at Mississippi State University—(662) 325-1815—to find the Migrant Education Recruiter closest to you.
