National Migrant Education Hotline, 800.234.8848
Greetings - You found an ESCORT web
page, but we have created another web page that we will be updating
more regularly. Please bookmark and use the following site. Click
on the National Hotline button on the left to go to information
on the Hotline.
To improve access to migrant education programs and
other services for farmworkers and their families, a nationwide
800 number has been established. Calls originating in a state
are routed to a migrant education office in that state. The migrant
education program can make the connection between the family and
migrant programs that are available in that state.
Having the same number across the country simplifies
locating the nearest migrant programs for this most mobile population.
The number is:
1.800.234.8848
To learn more about the operation of the Hotline please
call the ESCORT Office at 1.800.451.8058
If your group works with migrant
farmworkers and their families you may be interested in distributing
promotional materials with the Hotline number. An order
form is available for requesting these
materials that are free of charge to qualifying groups or agencies.
Click on the words order form above to get a *.pdf copy of the
form. If you're unfamiliar with *.pdf files you can get
the free *.pdf reader from Adobe or
you can go to another page with the
form and print it from there.
Some of our news releases follow. We will always insert
the most recent at the top of the list.
