International Institute Of Minnesota

Refugee and immigration services: the institute is a leader in delivering critical services to refugees and immigrants in our community. The institute provided support to nearly 900 adults and children helping them meet their basic needs in order to build a strong foundation for their new lives. Housing, employment, education, and overall case management services help newly arrived refugees become self-sufficient. Humanitarian parolees, asylees, unaccompanied children and foreign-born survivors of human trafficking also received services. The institute has welcomed more than 25,000 refugees since 1975 to minnesota. The institute's immigration services team offered low-cost legal services to more than 1700 people in 2024 providing long-term security and stability for families including lawful permanent residency, employment authorization, family reunification and other legal services. Since 2001, the institute has helped more than 18,000 new americans become u.s. Citizens. Our critical work is possible because of the generosity of our donors, volunteers and partners.
