The High School Equivalency Program (HEP) is designed for migrant and seasonal farm workers and their children who, in many instances, have experienced numerous -- and sometimes inherent -- obstacles in their attempts to become better educated in the traditional public schools of the country. In an effort to circumvent these bitter experiences, this program seeks to provide (1) a climate conducive to serious study, (2) favorable living condition and positive social interaction, (3) intensive academic challenges on an individual basis, (4) professional counseling on both an individual and a group basis, (5) subsequent placement relative to each student's pre-determined goals, and (6) continuous follow-up for each student enrolled in the project.
