Since 1998, the Office of Migrant Education and Special Projects at Barry University's Adrian Dominican School of Education, offers academic enrichment opportunities to the migrant/farm-worker community in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Collier Counties.  The mission of the Barry University Office of Migrant Education is to provide services and assistance to the migrant/farm-worker community and enhance the quality of life of a population that traditionally has been underserved. Presently, the School of Education successfully manages two federal grants: High School Equivalency Program (H.E.P.) and the College Assistance Migrant Program (C.A.M.P.), as well as a Florida State funded program, Even Start Family Literacy Program and the privately funded Florida Governor's Family Literacy Initiative (GFLI).
