As an H-2A Coordinator, Gilberto strives to create a safe housing and work environment that results in a positive impact for all stakeholders – from migrant workers, to their families and communities of origin, growers and consumers.
Gilberto believes that better, more dependable job opportunities for migrant workers will lead to a better future for them. Determining what ‘better,’ means comes from listening to workers’ experiences, and letting their voices guide us.
With a graduate background in social science, Gilberto’s interests have led him to work with immigrants who have been deported from the US, and on programs dedicated to assisting workers who wish to emigrate legally to work on farms in North America.
