I have watched YAYA grow and develop over the past 4-5 years. Thanks to the tremendous organizational skills and dedicated hard work of the staff, coupled with the passion, enthusiasm and commitment of students and youth around the state, YAYA has not only created programs and projects that have directly helped farmworkers, but has also helped raise awareness on campuses and in communities. From bicycle give-aways providing a means of transportation to undocumented farmworkers, to helping to lead the charge in stopping anti-immigrant bills from passing in the state legislature, YAYA has mobilized young people in ‘la lucha’ for justice.

The Farmworker Association of Florida is grateful for the many ways in which YAYA has supported the work of our organization and our farmworker communities in all our five areas of the state, including conducting workshops on Secure Communities, organizing groups for Lake Apopka Toxic Tours, coordinating alternative spring break activities to bring farmworkers and youth together, and advocating for AgJOBS on a national level. Farmworkers in Florida and around the country have a trusted ally in YAYA. Thanks, YAYA! You are doing exciting and important work….and, you ARE making a difference!”
