The Farm Workers Movement was founded in 1962 with Cesar Chavez' dream to win dignity and respect for America's farm workers through better working conditions and a living wage. Since then the movement has expanded from a labor organization into ten separate entities with career opportunities in a variety of fields.

United Farm Workers
The UFW is still at the heart of the Movement and has grown with the times. Once an all-volunteer organization, the UFW provides career opportunities in labor organization and political activism, research, contract negotiations and administration, fund raising as well as administrative support.

National Farm Worker Service Center Property Management
Property management services are provided for these corporate-owned subsidized housing complexes and homes. Currently responsible for more than 1,600 units, this entity is projected to grow more than ten times by the end of the decade. By early 2001, 2,000 units had been acquired in Texas, making progress towards a goal of managing 20,000 units by the end of 2010. Opportunities will abound in this field with support positions across the western United States.

The membership, and the responsibility that comes with it, form the base that is the power of the organization.
