COIN's goals are not to provide direct service alone, but rather to facilitate and connect existing organizations that work with immigrant and refugee communities. We organize trainings for counselors, attorneys, and others so they are able to recognize how immigration law issues connect when advising and counseling clients. Outreach efforts and other referrals are made for our immigrant neighbors in order to educate and inform them about immigration law and pertinent legal rights and responsibilities. Referrals are made to social service providers as applicable
