Biographical History
Founded in 1992, Student Action with Farmworkers is a non-profit organization whose mission is to bring students and farmworkers together to learn about each other's lives, share resources and skills, improve conditions for farmworkers, and build diverse coalitions working for social change. SAF accomplishes its mission by working with farmworkers to address their concerns through documentation of human rights violations, grassroots education and mobilization, leadership development of young people, policy advocacy, and support of labor organizing.
Student Action with Farmworkers (SAF) conducts Into the Fields, a ten-week summer internship program for university students in North and South Carolina and from farmworking families nationwide. As part of this internship, student interns receive training in folklife fieldwork and complete a documentary oral history project. The documentary fieldwork focuses on farmworkers and their families in North and South Carolina, primarily, though not exclusively, migrant Latino workers, many illegal immigrants to the United States.
The folklife documented includes foodways, traditional dance, art, music, and oral literature, religious beliefs and practices, life stories and experiences, labor camp life, and involvement in the labor movement.
