Annual Report 2017

Letter from the Board Chair


and the President/CEO
Dear Friends:

Thanks to our friends and supporters, the International Institute of New England provided critical services
last year to people from 70 countries, including Afghanistan, Bhutan, Burma (Myanmar), Democratic Republic
of Congo, Eritrea, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, and Syria.

In total, IINE provided case management, job training and placement, adult education and youth services to
1,920 immigrants, of whom 432 were newly arrived refugees we resettled in Eastern Massachusetts and
Southern New Hampshire.

The events of the past year showed us that the vast majority of New Englanders support new Americans and
want to welcome them to our communities. In 2017, more people volunteered, learned about immigration
issues, attended our events, met our clients in person, and donated to the International Institute than in any
other time in recent memory.

When the President issued an executive order that attempted to shut down the refugee resettlement program and ban people
of predominantly Muslim countries from coming to the U.S., thousands protested in Copley Square while hundreds of others
rushed to Logan and Manchester airports to help foreign travelers. The legal system listened, and a federal court in Boston
halted the order.

After the President empowered the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to accelerate arrests and
removals of undocumented immigrants who have committed no crimes, 1,600 people came to our storytelling performance
series, Suitcase Stories®, to hear new Americans share their journeys of coming to the United States. WGBH taped one of our
shows and broadcasted it on public television stations throughout the country.

Every time a government official degraded public discourse with untruths about refugees and immigrants, we responded with
factual information on how important new Americans are to the economic growth of our region and the nation as a whole.
Thousands opened our emails and read articles from multiple sources on immigration.

While the administration was canceling the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and ending Temporary
Protective Status (TPS) for Salvadorans and others in our programming, 332 volunteers were helping our clients learn English,
complete citizenship applications, prepare for job interviews, and accompany refugees to medical appointments.

We cannot thank you enough for making a difference in the lives of nearly 2,000 new Americans in 2017. Like you, we
are inspired by the people we serve, those who have survived war, persecution, the loss of family members and violent
displacement from their homes, and still have the tenacity and optimism to rebuild their lives from scratch in the United
States. Their resilience motivates us to do our best work, and it moved thousands of people like you to get involved with the
International Institute of New England.

We thank you for your support, and we ask you to stay engaged with us as a volunteer, donor, or advocate in the months and
years to come.

Gratefully,

Zoltan Csimma, Board Chair Jeff Thielman, President & CEO


Our Mission
We create opportunities for refugees and immigrants
