March 30, 2023 — Students are invited to participate in the Farmworker Immersion Project on Friday, April 21, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Participants will learn about farmworker rights, housing and health resources during the off-campus program organized by the Center for Community Engagement. Students will experience typical farm work and life in Ventura County. While visiting a local berry farm managed by Reiter Affiliated Companies, students will learn about the agricultural business in Ventura County and then work in the field as the farm manager provides instruction on how to harvest berries. In the afternoon, participants will visit an affordable housing community, Villa Cesar Chavez Apartments, to learn about its history and speak with farmworker families.

This event has very limited space and requires a mandatory orientation.

RSVP on the registration page. For more information, contact Jennifer Raymond at jennifer.raymond@csuci.edu or 805-437-3191.
