The International Institute of St. Louis is currently welcoming the highest number of immigrants and refugees to St. Louis in recent history. We are currently on track to welcome roughly 2,500 new arrivals this year—the largest influx since the Bosnians in the 1990s.
While we are grateful for the opportunity to serve, the International Institute is in urgent need of resources, funding, and volunteers to successfully resettle these families. Many of these families have already endured significant challenges, fleeing conflict or violence for a chance at a better life.
