OUR MISSION The mission of the International Institute of New England is to create opportunities for refugees and immigrants to succeed through resettlement, education, career advancement and pathways to citizenship.

OUR HISTORY The International Institute was founded in 1918 in Lowell, as a community effort to welcome new Americans immigrating to the area. Today, our organization serves more than 2,500 refugees and immigrants with programs in three cities: , Lowell, and Manchester, NH.

OUR SERVICES • Refugee Welcome and Stabilization Services Our core work involves helping newly arrived refugee families and individuals during their first few months in the United States as they transition from chaotic insecurity to a supportive, healthy new beginning. Our team helps refugees find a home and a job, registers children for school, enrolls families in health plans, and helps newcomers navigate a new community. Since 2007, IINE has resettled 7,000 refugees from more than 70 countries.

• Family Reunification IINE addresses one of the continent’s greatest challenges by reuniting unaccompanied Central American children paroled from detention centers on the southern border with family members or sponsors living in the United States. Based in Boston, this program is one of the largest of its kind in the region.

• Immigrant Education and Workforce Preparation Each year more than 1,500 immigrant adults enroll in our English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Skills Training classes, and employment programs. We offer specialized training programs that prepare people for jobs in the healthcare and hospitality industries, two of the region’s fastest growing career paths.

• Legal Services and a Pathway to Citizenship For people seeking help with immigration forms and procedures, including work authorization, permanent resident status, citizenship, family reunification and much more, we provide trustworthy and affordable legal services.

• Empowering Immigrants and Amplifying Voices IINE produces Suitcase Stories®, a unique program that empowers refugees and immigrants through live storytelling. Thousands of people have seen Suitcase Stories performances and heard the inspiring stories of 75 people from 35 countries. In addition to the live performances, our staff conduct hands-on diversity and inclusion workshops and performances in schools, places of worship, and businesses. 2020 golden door award honoree: Reshma Kewalramani, M.D.
