Cover Story: Migrant organizations (MOs), as associations that are founded, managed, and led by people with migration biographies, have recently emerged as facilitators of social protection interventions. By emphasizing their role in facilitating the mobilization of and access to cultural capital as an important determinant of the protection and wellbeing of people with migration biographies, this article seeks to shed light on the barely debated issue of MOs in the field of social protection. Specifically, we study how MOs promote the formation and mobilization of skills and resources to be used in different fields. Our findings show that MOs facilitate various occasions for their members to generate migration-specific cultural capital, predominantly in the fields of education and language skills, ultimately increasing their opportunities in the labor market. View this paper
