Current Narrative:
The SWA and the SMA maintain a close working relationship with Proteus© with respect to the outreach function. Through this partnership our WorkOne offices are able to reach a much broader MSFW audience than the WorkOne office staff are able to do in their normal intake activities. The strategy to co-locate offices helps drive MSFW clients into the one-stop office. This co-location has specifically helped Indiana coordinate the activities between the state and partner one-stop staff and the MSFW staff.
The SWA and SMA are also active with the Indiana MSFW Coalition which consists of several entities (Indiana Dept. of Education, Transition Resources, Indiana Health Centers, Migrant Services Law Center, Indiana Housing, among others) dedicated to a variety of advocacy-related issues involving agricultural farmworkers.
Over the next 12-month period, the SMA and our newly hired state staff for MSFW outreach will work with Proteus, the Regional Monitor Advocate, and local office staff with respect to the Outreach function (in general) as well as developing additional strategies for technical assistance, increasing awareness across core programs, Outreach worker professional development activities, coordination with NFJP partner, etc.
