St. Louis’ Newest Refugees


St. Louis has hundreds of new residents from around the world! In the past two months, staff and volunteers of the International Institute have ably resettled 176 newcomers from Azerbaijan to Vietnam, and from Burma to Somalia. Fully half of the refugees the Institute resettled in the last year arrived in just two short months!

Ask a question about these or other newcomers – or about immigration in general. Or tell us a story about an interesting immigrant whom you have met. We’d like to hear from you!

    Who decides where the refugees live when they come to St. Louis? Is there somewhere I’d be likely to see them?

    You can learn a lot about the International Institute and immigrants in St. Louis by watching HEC-TV’s program, Global Thinking: International Institute. It shows on Channel 13 in St. Louis City and Channel 26 in St. Louis County, on Wednesdays at 8pm and Saturdays at 5pm. Check it out!
