The International Institute of Los Angeles is a non-profit organization founded in 1914 that assists refugees and new immigrants as they settle in Southern California. Based in Los Angeles, California, it provides services such as job placement support, immigration legal assistance, childcare resources, transportation, nutrition programs, and other refugee services through a multicultural staff. The Institute aims to help families achieve self-sufficiency and to foster cross-cultural understanding, addressing the practical barriers that prevent newcomers from working and integrating—such as securing first employment, accessing legal help, and locating childcare providers. Its work serves individuals and families in the Los Angeles area and broader Southern California, with a history of supporting hundreds of thousands of refugees and survivors of human trafficking over the years. A notable recent development includes collaboration with the Daughters of Charity Organization and Saint Vincent's Meals on Wheels for a community gift bag packing event, reflecting ongoing community partnerships and volunteer engagement.
