Abstract

Founded in 1992, Student Action with Farmworkers is a non-profit organization whose mission is to bring students and farmworkers together to learn about each other's lives, share resources and skills, improve conditions for farmworkers, and build diverse coalitions working for social change. SAF accomplishes its mission by working with farmworkers to address their concerns through documentation of human rights violations, grassroots education and mobilization, leadership development of young people, policy advocacy, and support of labor organizing.

The Student Action with Farmworkers records include subject files containing correspondence, reports, articles, course material, internship applications, and other documentation of the organization's programs and mission, as well as posters used in protests and demonstrations. Major efforts represented in the collection include the Into the Fields Summer Internship and Leadership Development Program and Project Levante. Materials range in date from 1991-2008. Acquired as part of the Human Rights Archive.

Historical Note

[Adapted from Student Action with Farmworkers website: http://saf-unite.org/]

Founded in 1992, Student Action with Farmworkers is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to bring students and farmworkers together to learn about each other's lives, share resources and skills, improve conditions for farmworkers, and build diverse coalitions working for social change. SAF accomplishes its mission by working with farmworkers to address their concerns through documentation of human rights violations, grassroots education and mobilization, leadership development of young people, policy advocacy, and support of labor organizing.

Student Action with Farmworkers (SAF) traces its history to the 1970s when child psychiatrist Dr. Robert Coles and professor Bruce Payne led twelve Duke University students in a summer-long Migrant Project, investigating conditions in NC migrant camps, testifying before the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and successfully lobbying for the creation of NC Farmworker Legal Services. In the early 1980s, Payne and other faculty and students at Duke founded the Interns in Conscience project of the Hart Leadership Program, and groups of students went to southern Florida during summer breaks to work with agencies serving farmworkers.

In 1990, a grant from the U.S. Department of Education to the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke funded college student volunteers documenting the lives of migrant farmworker children. Fourteen Duke students in the summer of 1990 and eleven more in 1991 participated in the Center's Migrant Summer Program along with several University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill students. In 1992, students from Duke and UNC participated in a joint service-learning class about farmworker issues and the summer internship program.

Inspired by other activists, a group of students enlisted farmworker advocates, farmworkers, and community members to incorporate SAF as a nonprofit in 1992. Since 1992, SAF has directly impacted thousands of farmworkers, students and community members

As of 2007, the goals of SAF include:

  • To provide farmworkers and their families with greater access to existing resources through collaborations with farmworker advocacy organizations and community groups
  • To link student groups working with farmworkers in order to share their experiences and ideas
  • To increase the involvement of farmworkers in leadership and decision-making roles within SAF and to encourage such involvement within other organizations working on farmworker issues
  • To create a supportive environment for the efforts of farmworkers to improve their status in our society
  • To create internships and other projects that are mutually beneficially for students and farmworkers
  • To encourage student commitment to justice and social action
  • To increase interaction, communication and understanding among people of different backgrounds
  • To provide students from farmworker families with educational and career opportunities
  • To provide information on farmworker issues for students, faculty, religious organizations, advocacy organizations, and community groups
