I used the Centro de los Trabajadores website to hire a migrant day laborer, and had a great experience. I filled out the simple work request form, and a guy showed up the next day. He did outstanding work.

He didn’t speak English, but I was able to communicate well with him by using my extremely limited Spanish and by gesturing. I opted to pay $25 an hour (minimum 4 hours) plus a $20 tip.

Charity Navigator rates Centro de los Trabajadores (formerly Centro Humanitario) 97%. Here’s the website: https://centrodelostrabajadores.org/request-a-worker
