It was an exceptionally busy year for the internationalinstitute, in spite of continued decline in refugee re-settlement in St. Louis and around the U.S. Our 91 staffprovided services to 6,674 clients in St. Louis and at

our branch office in Springfield, MO. More than 1,600volunteers donated more than 18,000 hours of service.

working with our many partners, we promoted a moreinclusive community. we made 190 presentations, pro-vided 65 campus tours, served on dozens of work groups,and advocated for a more vibrant multicultural commu-nity, especially through Festival of nations.

in October, anna Crosslin celebrated her 40th anniver-sary as President & CeO.

By year’s end, a three-year draft strategic plan was complete for adoption in early 2019. The plan envisioneda rephrase in the mission, vision and goals of the insti-tute to ensure its continued relevance in the rapidlyshifting environment.

2018 PrOgraM HigHLigHTS

For nearly 100 years, the International Institute of St.

Louis has served as our region’s immigrant services

and community engagement hub. We have a long

history, deep roots, and vast multicultural expertise.

The work of the Institute is vital to the prosperity of our

region, state, and nation.

Our strategic imperatives:

OFFer TOP-nOTCH,FirST TOUCH ServiCeSAs a result of shifting White House priorities, total

refugees resettled in St. Louis in 2018 dropped to 177

arrivals – 15% of 2016. New programs included health-

related house parties for 35 homebound refugee women

funded by the Episcopal Presbyterian Health Trust. IKEA

and the Church of the Latter Day Saints made large dona-

tions of brand-new household furnishings for newly

arrived families. We recruited Certified Application Coun-

selor volunteers to augment services in our Health Insur-

ance Program funded by the Missouri Foundation for

Health. We also received a multi-year federal anti-human

trafficking award to significantly build program capacity.

It was also a year of dramatic growth in other program

areas. The Institute was appointed the Missouri Refugee

Coordinator, replacing the state, which opted out of the

multi-city program coordination role in April. The JCRC

planned and conducted a second highly successful one-

month summer camp for 67. After-school and summer

tutoring for refugee teens was added. Measurable

milestones were reached; 48% improved at least one grade

in a class in school, and 94% had perfect or improved

school attendance.

Throughout the year, we worked to expand recertification

and training for immigrant professionals. More soft skills

training classes and mentoring opportunities were of-

fered. We produced career pathway guides and hosted a

conference to highlight issues of under employment

within this skilled population. In the fall, we received a

Refugee Career Pathways grant, one of 11 federal awards

around the U.S. 25 adults received computer instruction

including introduction to computer coding.

FaCiLiTaTe FaMiLY & COMMUniTY eCOnOMiC grOwTHThrough the International Institute Community Develop-

ment Corporation (IICDC), our subsidiary economic devel-

opment entity, we made loans to start or expand 41 immi-

grant-owned businesses. During the year, we managed a

portfolio of 114 loans with lending support from Carrollton

Bank, Midwest BankCentre, PNC Bank, and Busey. We also

made six credit builder loans; more than 80% of borrowers

were making timely repayments. Almost 45% of our clients

obtained or maintained a prime credit score. II Global

Farms continued to attract a substantial number of volun-

teers, especially service learning groups.

FOSTer POSiTive COMMUniTY reLaTiOnSHiPSWe advocate on behalf of our constituents, deliver strategic

messages to priority audiences, and build strong commu-

nity connections through events and presentations.

In 2018, the Institute’s Festival of Nations with presenting

sponsor, Wells Fargo Advisors, drew 125,000 visitors to

Tower Grove Park. More than 50% of the audience was

between 19 and 54. We posted 280 times to 9,300 followers

on our social media sites, and our postings were widely

shared. Nearly 44,000 unique viewers visited our website.

Institute staff appeared in 127 media stories or mentions.

During the year, we worked closely with numerous organ-

izations, especially the St. Louis Mosaic Project, to intro-

duce welcoming programs and activities. In collaboration

with Casa de Salud and three other organizations, we

helped launch an information & referral website for area

immigrants through the New American Alliance with sup-

port from the MFH.
