AIFC's HISTORY

The Arizona Interagency Farmworkers Coalition, Inc.  (AIFC), is a non-profit Arizona base social service organization founded in 1991. The AIFC coalition formed in response to a vast need to coordinate fragmented services from multidisciplinary service agencies and organizations.

The purpose of the AIFC is to identify Arizona's farm workers social service needs and to establish the initial frame work between the farm worker and the service agency fulfilling that social service need. The farm workers working and living conditions are directly affected by various policies, including employment, free trade, health care, immigration, low-income housing, workers protection standards and various other factors specific to the farm working community.  Consequently, AIFC advocates on behalf of this vulnerable and vital component of our society.
