The National ID&R Forum is the only conference that focuses explicitly on the efforts for the Identification and Recruitment (ID&R) of migratory children and youth for Migrant Education Programs (MEPs) to enhance their capacity to appropriately identify and serve all eligible migratory students in their area of service. For information on other services that we provide regarding the ID&R of migratory children and youth for the MEP, please visit our  ID&R Services page.
