International Institute of New England
About
The International Institute of New England (IINE) is a Boston-based nonprofit that supports refugees and immigrants as they build new lives in the United States. It offers humanitarian relief, refugee resettlement, English classes taught by experienced ESOL teachers, employment support and skills training, and immigration legal services. Its aim is to give newcomers a path to lasting self-sufficiency so they can support themselves and their families.
Founded in 1918, the institute has worked for more than a century to protect and assist newcomers, and it has recently focused on advocacy as federal immigration policy has tightened. Its legal team handles family, humanitarian and business immigration cases as well as U.S. citizenship. IINE also created The Long Road to Safety, an interactive online simulation that walks users through the steps and delays of the U.S. refugee admissions process.
