The union of organizations within COFEM has contributed to the development of a bi-national agenda that addresses critical matters facing Latino immigrants in the United States and Mexico. Through an extensive planning process, COFEM has defined specific themes, priorities, and needs of greatest impact and interest to the Latino immigrant community in California. As a result of this planning process, COFEM's Coachella office has identified a strategic focus in four main areas: higher education, conservation, and immigration integration.
