Mission
The International Institute of New England (IINE) creates opportunities for refugees and immigrants to succeed through resettlement, education, career advancement and pathways to citizenship.
History and Context
Founded in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1918, IINE is one of the region's largest and oldest service providers for new Americans. The International Institute serves 2,000 refugees and immigrants each year and has launched new programs to double the number of newcomers served to 4,000 within five years. In the past year, staff in our Boston, Lowell, and Manchester (NH) field offices provided resettlement, family reunification, education, career assistance, and legal services to people from 67 different countries.
As the United States engages in a pitched debate about immigration policy, our work is critical to preserving the nation's tradition of welcoming people of all backgrounds who cherish freedom, equality and hard work. IINE's programs are particularly important to New England, which has a notable dependence on immigrant labor to grow its economy.
