The Center educates the community on local, national and global social justice issues affecting immigrants and refugees. In addition to holding public forums, the Center offers a six-week long popular education course called Refugee and Immigrant Solidarity Education (RISE). Through RISE, participants work together across cultural lines to develop a thorough knowledge of the dynamics of immigration, influences on immigration policy, and effective community organizing.

Collaboration with Other Groups

When possible, the Center for Intercultural Organizing collaborates with other organizations to strengthen and support existing efforts to bring visibility to immigrant and refugee issues.
