Several organizations in Missouri open their computer labs to immigrants and refugees, enabling free access to the Internet. Organizations include libraries, churches, schools and English as a Second Language (ESL) programs.

 

Missouri Migrant Education Program
The Office of Migrant Education works to improve teaching and learning for migratory children. Programs and projects administered by this organization are designed to enable children whose families migrate to find work in agricultural, fishing, and timber industries to meet the same challenging academic content and student performance standards that are expected of all children. The migrant education program is based on the premise that migrant children, although affected by poverty and the migrant lifestyle can and should have the opportunity to realize their full academic potential.
