We provide opportunities for immigrants & refugees to thrive to create a welcoming, prosperous & healthy #STL region.
About us
We envision a welcoming, prosperous, and healthy St. Louis region for every individual in our community. To achieve this vision, the International Institute of St. Louis creates opportunities for the immigrant and refugee community in St. Louis to achieve its greatest potential. These opportunities span all facets of life: family, health, community, career, culture, and much more. We know that when our neighbors thrive, our region thrives, and when our region prospers, we have even more chances to prosper. We offer a variety of services for 7,500 new Americans from 75 countries each year. We help refugees, immigrants and their families become productive Americans and champion ethnic diversity as a cultural and economic strength. With the help of the Institute, many newcomers can achieve independence and make valuable contributions to the St. Louis community. LEARN MORE AT WWW.IISTL.ORG.

We're celebrating the hope for Syrians, including 1,000 in Missouri, who have been displaced by the war. https://lnkd.in/gkX5uYSM
