From 1997-2005, SAF partnered with the NC Migrant Education Program (MEP) to address the educational needs of migrant students across the state.

Through this partnership, SAF:

• Coordinated College Day visits for nearly 2000 migrant youth,
• Mentored over 1,000 migrant youth during summer programs,
• Provided internships for 41 college students to work with migrant youth
• Built the self-esteem and cultural awareness of thousands of migrant students through workshops and art-based projects,
• Provided information about college to hundreds of parents and educators each year, and
• Assisted local Migrant Education Programs to expand school AIM clubs for migrant students from one to over 50 clubs in 27 counties

In 2006, SAF restructured Levante in order to better meet the needs of farmworker youth.
