Shenandoah Valley Migrant Education

The Shenandoah Valley Migrant Education Program (SVMEP) provides free supplemental educational services to children aged 3-21 of migrant workers for 3 years after their last migrant move. Services include assisting local schools and preschools with registering and placing students; training classroom teachers and administrators in the areas of second language acquisition and ESL strategies; providing tutors for students who need supplemental academic help; arranging appointments, transporting, and translating for families who need assistance in accessing local services which directly affect the child's education or well-being, offering family literacy through home visits to families with preschool-aged children, mentoring youth through completion on high school and establishment of future educational and career goals, and sponsoring interagency advisory councils.
