Centro Campesino is a non-profit rural development corporation which supports economic self-sufficiency to improve the quality of life for migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their children. Although formed 35 years ago to address deplorable housing conditions faced by farmworkers, Centro now serves low-income Florida families of all races and ethnicities.

Centro Campesino creates affordable rental and homeownership opportunities, offers free after school and summer camp programs for the children of farmworkers and other at-risk youth, conducts workshops and seminars which empower families, trains farmworkers for jobs leading to secure employment, strengthens communities through civic engagement activities, provides disaster relief and weatherization services, and advocates for initiatives and legislation which protect the rights of farmworkers and other families of low income.

Come see the mural in our courtyard-- a collaborative effort between Centro Campesino and Galata, designed by Carlos Salgado and made possible by a grant from the Office of Economic Community Development.
