Multicultural Institute

Berkeley, CA

"Since 1991, under the leadership of its Founder and Executive Director: Rigoberto Calocarivas, MI has worked with different immigrant communities in three areas; Alameda, San Mateo and Contra Costa counties. Its strongest niche is with Latino immigrants, particularly those from Mexico and Central America and its core constituents include day laborers, low-income immigrant adults and youth. Since its inception MI has envisioned a community in which immigrants, regardless of their immigration status, are embraced and valued in the communities in which they live and work – Multicultural Institute's website.
