OfficesOffices
Migrant Health Promotion maintains offices in southeast Michigan and along the United States-Mexico border in South Texas. This strategic positioning allows Migrant Health Promotion to serve farmworkers and the border community from the homebase in Texas and to serve farmworkers as they migrate north. Although both offices run Promotor(a) programs directly and teach others how to replicate the model, the Texas office is truly a community training center, and the Michigan office is a program development and administrative center.
Michigan
In Michigan, staff members travel from the office to support seasonal Promotor(a) programs. The Promotores and Promotoras conduct most of their work in the fields, orchards and greenhouses where they work; in the migrant labor camps where they live; and at their local Migrant and Community Health Centers. The office houses the business, administrative and development staff as well as the Capacity-Building Assistance Program and program development staff. Staff members in the Michigan office ensure that Migrant and Community Health Centers nationwide have the tools they need to work with Promotores(as).
Texas
The Texas office is an extremely busy training and community center for Promotores(as) from throughout the state. The office, located one mile from the United States-Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley, is situated between sugarcane and sorghum fields and several colonias. In addition to staff offices, two large training rooms are in constant demand and provide meeting and training space for numerous Promotor(a) programs and several Valley-wide health coalitions.
