In close collaboration with elected officials and public and private partners, Rigo and his team also identify, recommend and implement policies and initiatives that support immigrants in realizing their dreams. Major recent projects include immigration legal representation, ethnic media utilization, language access, and capacity building for community-based organizations.

He, along with four other board members, reviews consumer claims and approves hundreds of thousands of dollars each year for car buyers who are financially harmed by out of business car dealers. Rigo also volunteers as a board member for Neighborhood Housing Services, a non-profit organization that builds communities by developing and maintaining affordable housing, promoting homeownership, and providing financial education.
