Migrant Education Even Start Family Literacy (MEES) Grant

Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives
U.S. Department of Education

The Migrant Education Even Start Family Literacy (MEES) grant is intended to help break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy of migratory families by improving the educational opportunities of these families through the integration of early childhood education, adult literacy or adult basic education, and parenting education into a unified family literacy program. Because this grant employs the novice applicant priority, faith-based and community organizations are strongly encouraged to apply. Applications that would create federal, state, and local partnerships; build networks among novice applicants and experienced MEES projects; and build networks with agricultural employers are also strongly encouraged to apply.

In an effort to provide technical assistance to faith-based and community organizations, the Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives has produced this Webcast to serve as a grant writing tutorial for the Migrant Education Even Start Family Literacy Program.
