About IIB

Since 1918 the International Institute of Buffalo (IIB) has been making Western New York a better place for, and because of, refugees and immigrants. Today the Institute provides critical services to refugees and immigrants, while promoting global understanding and connections throughout the WNY community. IIB offers refugee resettlement and employment programs; provides services to survivors of domestic abuse and human trafficking; translation and interpretation services; global education programs for students, adults and businesses, and two international visitors’ leadership programs. Living out Buffalo’s reputation as the City of Good Neighbors, our welcoming program assists in building understanding across communities.
