DESCRIPTION
The Iowa International Center provides access to international resources to Iowans, new Iowans, and international visitors to Iowa. The overarching impact provides economic and leadership development resulting in Iowa being a more inclusive and welcoming place to live, work and raise a family.
The Iowa International Center has four main programmatic areas: assistance to refugees and other new Iowans, an extensive translation service covering more than 49 languages, monthly public forums introducing Iowans to international topics, and facilitating the travel of international visitors to Iowa.
HOW TO HELP
Individuals can assist the efforts of the Iowa International Center through donating or volunteering in any of its programmatic areas. Volunteers are especially needed to help guide international visitors around the state and to host them for meals or overnight. People with foreign language skills can join the Iowa International Center’ s on-call interpretation network to assist new Iowans with emergency interpretation needs.
