The International Institute of Minnesota delivers services and resources to assist New Americans in the transition to a new life leading to economic self-sufficiency.
The Institute supports this mission by providing linguistically and culturally accessible services that enable every New American to work toward achieving full community participation and self-sufficiency. Come to hear an overview of who is a refugee, how does one become a refugee, what is the process for refugees to come to the United States, and what kind of help do refugees get when they get to the United States.
