Learning Communities Research and Practice, v9 n1 Article 5 2021
In 2019, [Sunny] (City, State) was awarded a federal College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) grant designed to provide necessary support for the first-year success of migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their direct families. This article describes programming of the CAMP grant, focusing on how it functions as a learning community through its advising, tutoring, faculty partnerships, and other supports intended to provide academic, social, and personal success to its participants. Recommendations are offered for lessons learned about communicating with students, working with tutors, selecting faculty for strong partnerships, and evaluating learning communities.
