Shenandoah Valley Migrant Education Program

The Shenandoah Valley Migrant Education Program (SVMEP) is a federally funded Title I, Part C program hosted at James Madison University that provides comprehensive academic support and advocacy services to newly arrived migrant families in the Harrisonburg area. The program offers tutoring, mentoring, interpretation services, school enrollment assistance, and parent involvement support to migrant students and young adults during their first three years in the community. SVMEP's bilingual staff and trained volunteer tutors work directly with families in their homes and migrant camps to help students achieve educational goals, earn high school diplomas, or complete GED programs that prepare them for further learning and employment.
