About the International Institute of Minnesota

Since 1919, the International Institute of Minnesota (IIMN) has delivered critical services and resources to help New Americans transition to their new lives in Minnesota. From language learning and job training to immigration and refugee services, we offers New Americans a pathway for a strong start to a new life. Once stability is achieved, we’re there for next steps, too: from college preparation and career advancement to citizenship support and financial coaching toward home ownership. With over 100 years of experience, IIMN is considered a national leader in creating opportunities for New Americans.
