ORGANIZATION: Iowa International Center

  • 6 people are interested

The Explore Des Moines program is a way for the visitors to see more of Des Moines. This is a great opportunity not only for our experienced dinner hosts who would enjoy a different type of experience, but also for our volunteers who are not able to be a dinner host but would still enjoy spending time with our visitors. The only requirements of the volunteers are having a VERY flexible attitude and a willingness to provide transportation.

Mission Statement

We build cultural respect at home and around the world one person at a time.

Description

Founded in 1938, the Iowa International Center began by welcoming and providing safety for refugees fleeing Germany and Poland. For over 75 years, we have provided personal and professional opportunities linking Iowans with peoples from around the world. The Iowa International Center also provides access to critical resources to Iowans, new Iowans (including refugees and immigrants), and international visitors in Iowa to help our state become a more inclusive and welcoming place to live, work and raise a family.

The Iowa International Center's key programs and activities include the following:

Multilingual Resources for New Iowans, Refugees and Immigrants - Welcometoiowa.org and a free 24/7 Statewide Emergency Interpretation Hotline.

Interpretation and Translation Services - professional interpretation and document translation.

The Sehgal Foundation International Visitors Center - we host more than 130 global leaders annually for professional exchanges and local hosting opportunities.
