Executive Director

Do you respect the worth, dignity, and rights of all people? Do you feel called to advocate for farmworkers and their families who support our agricultural communities? Do you value the importance of each community’s ethnic and cultural heritage, believing that all voices are equal and that we all can learn from each other? Are you the kind of leader who believes people are an organization’s most important asset and who knows how to build, nurture, and inspire a community internally and externally?

Why Episcopal Farmworker Ministry? Episcopal Farmworker Ministry (EFWM) start in 1982 with just one outreach worker who provided transportation to service agencies, translation, English classes, and recreational activities to migrant workers. Very quickly, EFWM started providing immigration services. Starting as a joint ministry of the Diocese of East Carolina and the Diocese of North Carolina of the Episcopal Church, EFWM responds to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of permanent, migrant, and seasonal farmworkers and their families, and actively supports opportunities for them to become self-directive. Since 1982, EFWM seeks to minister to farmworkers in three principal ways: through direct services; through development and support of programs that work towards the empowerment of farmworkers; and by encouraging leadership development, advocacy, and education aimed toward a systemic change in agricultural policy at local and state levels. EFWM is a $500,000 organization, with 6 staff members (3 full time and 3 part time), more than 300 volunteers, and a board of 10. Want to know more?
