Description
To accomplish its mission, the role International House plays in the community is threefold:

Immigrant Advocacy Program
International House provides legal representation and other resources to guide over 600 low-income internationals through the complexities of U.S. immigration law.
Citizen Diplomacy Programs
International House plays an important role in America's citizen diplomacy efforts by partnering with the U.S. Department of State and United States Agency for International Development to implement two U.S.Government sponsored programs: the International Visitor Leadership Program and Community Connections Program.
