| Abstract | Educational equality for migrant youth has not been realized in American society. By grade 10, 80-90% of migrant youth drop out of school. When migrants drop out, they are academically 1 to 2 years behind other students their age. They have limited English skills, poor self-concepts, few job skills, and no career plans. The National Association of State Directors of Migrant Education made dropout prevention and retrieval top priorities in the late 1970s and developed the Migrant Dropout Youth Program (MDYP) with the goal of increasing the number of migrant youth who resume school or vocational education and/or pursue education beyond the secondary level. MDYP services include counseling, career education, a newsletter, and a toll-free telephone number. Once migrant youth have made career decisions, they are linked with the most appropriate educational or training program. Even with the expanding efforts of the MDYP, the needs of migrant youth remain largely unmet. Educational and vocational training opportunities must be developed for them to provide the assistance they need to set and achieve career goals to become fully functioning contributors to society.
