The International Welcome Center (IWC) serves refugees and immigrants in the Akron area.
The people served by the IWC are displaced from their native countries. They gain refugee status through the United Nations. The United States invites them to a new life in America. Upon their arrival they receive 90 days of federal assistance. The work of the IWC begins on day 91 as refugees continue on their legal path to citizenship.
IWC staff and volunteers mentor refugees helping them acclimate to life in Akron and develop lasting friendships.
