Micop will address the social education and humanitarian needs of indigenous immigrant youth and families through pilot programs to demonstrate how community needs can be met and assist other entities to provide direct programs and services. Other program services 5: outreach and access to services: micop increases access to medical, mental health, and social services for the indigenous migrant population of ventura county. Our outreach workers work in three local school districts to ensure that indigenous migrant children are healthy and ready to enter kindergarten with their peers. Micop operates outreach using the outreach worker model to prevent domestic violence, teach about reproductive health and increase knowledge about available services, including county healthcare safety net programs. We have staff on site to enroll our families in medi-cal and have expanded our work to include supportive services for families with children who are disabled. Micop provides immigration legal & education services for indigenous families in ventura and santa barbara county. Other program services 6: education and literacy: micop provides literacy and adult education tocommunity members who wish to continue their primary and secondary education. Because the majority of indigenous migrants living in ventura county are young families with small children, micop offers pact classes that teach the basics of infant care and early childhood learning. The classes are designed to accommodate low-literacy learners with a linguistically accessible and culturally appropriate curriculum. Micops tequio youth group promotes indigenous pride and encourages academic achievement and continuing on to higher education. Micop provides annual scholarships to tequio students to help further their education. Micop also offers wellness classes to support the mental health needs of our community through our living with love program and our connecting with my peers program.”
