Latest NewsLa Luz Center Welcomes Vineyard Workers Services!
By Stephen Dale — After months of talks, on April 20th the Board of Directors of both the La Luz Bilingual Center and Vineyard Worker Services voted to consolidate the two organizations. Vineyard Workers Services is now a vital program of the La Luz Center. Elizabeth Kemp, VWS Board Chair, assures that “VWS will continue their commitment to provide housing for permanent farm workers (24 low-cost units in the Springs Village), in addition to the camps for seasonal workers.”
All programs of VWS including vintner/grower Assistance Outreach Services, GED Migrant Education, Poder Popular, Vineyard Worker & Day Laborer Meals and Support, Parents Speak Up National Campaign, Student Intern Volunteer Support Network and the Resource Center will continue with no immediate changes.
“We feel that this is the best strategy to serve our community, “ says new Board Chair Martha Rosenblatt. “The consolidation will enable both groups to operate more efficiently with fewer duplications of services.”
