Our Purpose

COCOMAINE  serves one of the largest immigrant communities. Immigrants face many chalenges when trying to settle in a new country. New arrivals are unfamiliar with the culture and language, and in many cases, have left behind family.COCOMAINE is a volunteer and community-led  organization that provide gap-filling, culturally-competent services to new immigrants  by acting as cultural  brokers between existing programs, filling-service gaps, and relieving the overwhelm of new arrival.
