AFOP's Children in the Fields Campaign strives to improve the quality of life of migrant and seasonal farmworker children by advocating for enhanced educational opportunities and the elimination of discriminatory federal child labor laws in agriculture. Since 1997, AFOP’s Children in the Fields Campaign has been dedicated to ensuring that farmworker children are protected and given an opportunity to succeed in life. By educating the public, advocating for educational programs for farmworker children, and supporting fair living wages for all farmworkers, the Children in the Fields Campaign strives to get farmworker children out of the fields and back into schools. The Children in the Fields Campaign has partnered with the Child Labor Coalition, the National Consumers League, and other concerned parties to protect farmworker children. Together, they work to publicize the plight of this hidden population and advocate for federal policies that would strengthen the child labor safeguards in agriculture so that they are just as protective as those in other industries. In 2009, the Children in the Fields Campaign launched a new phase to increase grassroots efforts in five key states and garner support for better protection of farmworker children under the law, providing them with equal opportunities for success. Regional Coordinators in the farmworker communities of California, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, and Texas have formed community coalitions and farmworker youth councils to raise awareness about the persistent issue of child labor in our agricultural system.

Life did not become easy overnight. We still struggled, still moved, still adjusted. But something inside us had changed. We were no longer just surviving, we were building.

🥉 Congrats Giovani! 🎉 Please read this amazing and inspiring art description below⬇️

My drawing represents the dreams of many young boys who grow up in migrant and seasonal farmworker families. Many spend their childhood watching their parents and siblings wake up before sunrise, work under the hot sun, and return home exhausted, all to provide a better life for their families. Through those sacrifices, they learn the value of hard work, determination, and hope. While the fields help shape who they are, many carry dreams that reach far beyond them.

I see myself in the boy standing at the crossroads. Just like my parents and siblings, I have witnessed the long days, sacrifices, and dedication that come with working in the fields. In one thought, I see the path my family has traveled and the struggles they have overcome. In the other, I see myself becoming a soccer player and achieving the dreams I once only imagined. My drawing shows that the sacrifices made by my family are not just growing crops, they are growing opportunities. Their hard work inspires me to dream bigger, work harder, and believe that no matter where I come from, I can become who I aspire to be. The fields gave me roots, but my dreams gave me wings.

🥉 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝘂𝗹𝗰𝗲! 🎉 Get inspired by Dulce's art description below ⬇️

My artwork is called “ I Have a Dream.” It represents my hopes, goals, and the future I want to create for myself. The rocket symbolizes my journey toward success and reminds me that I can reach great heights if I work hard and never give up. The planets, stars, and space represent the many opportunities and possibilities that await me in life.

The graduate in the center of the drawing represents one of my biggest dreams—to graduate from school and continue my education. Earning a diploma will be an important step toward achieving my future career goals. The Earth reminds me where I come from and the people who have supported me, especially my family.

The child looking toward the rocket shows that every dream begins with believing in yourself. Even though the journey may be challenging, determination, faith, and hard work can help make dreams come true. Through this drawing, I want to show that no dream is too big. As long as I keep believing in myself, stay focused, and continue working toward my goals, I can achieve the future I have always dreamed of.

🥈 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘀𝗴𝗮𝗿!🎉 Please take a minute to get inspired by Yosgar's art piece. Description below. ⬇️

The future that I hope to create is a future that I am able to be happy and find my true passion in my profession. Also, able to be financially independent in my profession and find purpose in my life and see what I'm capable of doing.

The challenges that I face that others might not see is, things I sacrifice my life, time, and opportunity. Also seeing other kids my age having fun, and not being able to do the same fun.

What I would like my future to be known for my creativity, problem-solving skills and for not being under pressure.

This drawing that I did is to tell or describe what a migrant child do through on summer. I work in the cotton fields all summer, but my powerful future is to go to college and get a degree in engineering or construction design. Thank you.

🥇 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲! 🎉 Please take the time to read Berenice's moving and powerful essay. ⬇️

In her winning essay, Berenice shares the sacrifices her parents made, the challenges of growing up as the daughter of farmworkers, learning English, moving with the agricultural seasons, and finding her own path toward higher education.

But perhaps the most powerful part of her story is what she plans to do with that future. ❤️ Berenice hopes to study Psychology and Spanish and become a bilingual mental health professional, helping ensure that language is never a barrier for families seeking support.

From the fields that became her second home to the future she is now building, Berenice shows us exactly what this year’s theme means:

🥇 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲!🎉 Read art description below. ⬇️

My artwork is about the sacrifices farmworker parents make to give their children a better future. At the center is a farmworker’s hand, covered with dirt and small cuts to show the hard work and challenges they face every day for their family. Resting in the hand is a bright red apple that represents both the crops they harvest and education. Inside the apple is the reflection of a student graduating, showing the future many parents hope to see for their children as well as the dreams children can begin to see for themselves while working in the fields.

The green leaf represents growth and new opportunities, while the dark blue surrounding the apple represents the uncertainty that comes with chasing a better future. I used oil pastels because I wanted the colors to feel bold and full of life, while the blending shows how hope and dreams are all connected. As a recent high school graduate, this painting also reflects my own journey and the dreams I have worked toward.

When I look into the apple, I see not only the hopes of farmworker families but also the future I have imagined for myself. Like a seed from the apple, I hope to grow into someone who inspires other migrant students to believe that their dreams can also take root and flourish.
