About
The following resources are useful both for employers in hiring youth to work in agriculture and for support organizations providing services to farmworker youth.
Serving Farmworker Youth
In the "Serving Farmworker Youth" presentation by Jennifer Kemp of the Division of Youth Services at ETA, the program considerations of serving farmworker youth are covered. The presentation was given at the Association of Farmworkers Opportunity Programs (AFOP) leadership conference on February 5, 2015.
Safety Considerations
Employers and service providers should keep in mind all of the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules, resources and safety information for youth working in agriculture.
