To address the identified needs, the planning committee developed five measurable objectives.

Objective 1: To increase the number of students of migrant/seasonal farm worker background admitted to SSU/NVC/SRJC. This objective addresses the established significant under-representation of students from migrant/seasonal farm worker backgrounds among college attendees.

Measurable Outcome 1: In each year of Collaborative CAMP, a minimum of 60 students will be selected as participants through the outreach and recruitment component, with the cohort consisting of approximately 20 students at each site.

Objective 2: To increase the academic skills and performance of the Collaborative CAMP first-year college students. This objective targets the identified under-performance and relatively low skills of the potential population for Collaborative CAMP, problems that will undermine college success if not effectively addressed in the first year.

Measurable Outcome 2: Participant skills in English and mathematics will increase, as demonstrated by the students' ability to move to the next academic level.

Objective 3: To increase the number and proportion of Collaborative CAMP participants who successfully complete their first year of college/university study with the skills necessary to earn a baccalaureate degree and secure appropriate employment. This objective targets the documented problem of migrant/seasonal farm worker students enrolling in the partner IHEs but dropping out during the first year.

Measurable Outcome 3: The CAMP Project will result in a participant first year completion rate equal to or greater than the first year persistence rate at each of the three partner IHEs.

Objective 4: To increase the persistence and transfer rates of Collaborative CAMP participants resulting in completion of the baccalaureate degree. This objective addresses the lower-than-average persistence rate of Hispanic students at all three institutions and the severe under-representation of Hispanic/Latinos and especially migrant/seasonal farm workers among college graduates.

Measurable Outcome 4: The project will result in transfer rates from the two-year institutions and completion of the baccalaureate degree at SSU at rates equal to or greater than the existing transfer rates at NVC and SRJC, and the existing SSU graduation rate (after 5 years).

Objective 5: To establish a self-sustaining network of successful former Collaborative CAMP students who will serve as role models and leaders for each successive year's participants and for the youth in their communities. They will play a key role in the formation of learning communities in strategic locations in the rural areas. The planning committee developed this objective to address the need for a visible network of peers and role models for migrant/seasonal farm worker youth in the K-12 system and for Collaborative CAMP project participants in their first year of college/university.

Measurable Outcome 5: At least 75% of participants who complete their first year will engage either in outreach/recruitment efforts in the K-12 system or in support/retention efforts for new Collaborative CAMP students.
