EXCITING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES at the INSTITUTE
Give your time
Volunteers and Interns play an integral role at IIB, not only enhancing and expanding the scope and breadth of services, but also assisting in the planning and evaluation of programs.
Volunteers and Interns are very active in all IIB programs. However, the majority of interns focus on supporting the efforts of our refugee resettlement and legal services, while our volunteers mainly serve as tutors for our Education Department and U.S. Citizenship Center.
