Since 1921, the International Institute has fulfilled a single-minded goal: giving critical help to Rhode Island's immigrant arrivals, and those with refugee status. If your roots go back to any of the immigrant waves in the decades since, the Institute might have helped your family, too. We were certainly ready to, thanks to generous donors.

By supporting International Institute, you join one of Rhode Island's oldest and most respected charities.  You will help Rhode Island immigrants and refugees meet the challenges of their adopted home with English as a Second Language classes, job training and placement, and legal counseling.  Whatever it takes to turn a recent arrival into a citizen you would be proud to have as your neighbor.
