FRLS is unique in its service to farmworkers because of its rich history, dating back to its inception.
In 1966, the office of Economic Opportunity, the agency created by R. Sargent Shriver during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration to spearhead the War on Poverty, funded a two-year demonstration and research project to provide legal services to farmworkers in six South Florida counties.
The project was originally called the South Florida Migrant Services. The program was extremely successful, and to this day, now as FRLS, continues to be the only legal services organization in Florida providing services to farmworkers and migrant workers throughout the state.
