International Institute helps reunite immigrant families

January 31, 2025 | Since its creation in 1919, thousands of immigrants have become self-sufficient Americans with the help of the International Institute on Como Avenue in St. Paul, according to its website. In addition to resettlement programs, the institute offers courses in English language learning, job training, college preparation and citizenship support.

The institute serves clients from more that 100 countries around the world. Michelle Eberhard, refugee services director for the institute, said the institute has developed communities for these diverse families.
