Florida Immigrant Coalition is an amazing attribute to the immigrant community of South Florida and has done amazing work around voter registration, overall civic engagement and most importantly around Naturalization Services. As a volunteer I have felt like all volunteers have been immersed in the experience of each individual the organization helps and it excites me to know that such an organization exists and helps to protect and assist the most needed.
