The Irish Immigration Center (IIC) was founded in 1989 by a dedicated group of Irish immigrants as a ‘mutual assistance’ organization providing support for one another. While they remain committed to their Irish base, they now assist not only Irish immigrants, but newcomers from more than 100 nations.
The IIC addresses the immediate needs of individuals and families with expert legal advice and an array of programs.
