CISNE forums are held the first Thursday of every month from 8:30 am to 10:00 am. We invite agencies, advocates and organizations throughout Monterey County to participate. CISNE empowers community members with timely, relevant information so they can advocate for immigrant families and individuals in our community. Our forums address current issues, make connections and hold agencies accountable.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are meeting via Zoom. There are no fees to join and you have no obligation to attend every forum. Please fill out our contact form to receive our emails and invitations to collaborate.
Forum speakers are chosen by our committee. Topics are specific to Monterey County and our immigrant community, and include:
Childcare, after-school resources and youth resources
ESL education and services
Health care programs
Legal information and programs
Unemployment, Disability and Paid Family Leave programs
Food assistance and nutrition programs
