The National Alliance For Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Vocational Rehabilitation (NAMSFVR) is an organization started by Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Rehabilitation Projects funded under section 304 of the 1998 Rehabilitation Act and by other interested parties.

Many farms and employers hire migrating or seasonal workers to bring in crops or other agricultural products. Farmworkers are the poorest group of workers in the U.S. Agricultural employment is currently listed by the Department of Labor as having the highest rate of fatalities and injuries among workers in the U.S., followed by mining.

The projects are designed to provide innovative and culturally appropriate consumer directed employment services to migrant, agricultural and or seasonal farmworkers with a disability. The first projects received appropriations as training and demonstration grants in 1980.
