The
Illinois Migrant Council or "IMC" is a community-based non-profit
organization with the primary mission of promoting employment, educational
and other opportunities for migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFW)
and their families to achieve economic self-sufficiency and stability.
IMC's central focus is the well-being
of the farmworker family. Since 1966, IMC has assisted farmworker
families in meeting their needs and attaining their goals in their efforts
to make the transition to a new community, home and job -- whether they
are working seasonally in agriculture or are settling out of the migrant
stream in Illinois.
See IMC history
for more information about the Illinois Migrant Council and its Board of
Directors.
IMC implements its programs and
services within the parameters of its federal and state funding resources.
IMC field sites or Regional locations
offer a range of services with workforce development as the nucleus. IMC
is a partner in the Illinois workforce development system under the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA).
