23 organizations, dealing with 65 different countries of origin,
18,875 volunteers, 39 professional coordinators
and 184 branches all through Israel
are working for the benefit of Israel's new immigrants.
These organizations participate in all aspects which have to do with the assimilation of new immigrants in Israel, from the beginning of their journey at their countries of origin until the immigrant is fully accepted into Israeli society.
The organizations are made up of professional workers and volunteers – old immigrants whom share a vast and rich experience of the process of immigration.
Some of the goals of the council of immigrant organizations:
* Representing and defending the rights of immigrants
* Maximizing the organizations resources
* Bringing to synergy the abilities of all the organizations
* Bringing to light the hardship of immigration among policy makers and the public
* Collaborating with government offices and experts on the subject of immigration
in order to further develop the process of immigrant absorption in Israeli society.
