Within four years, the Institute outgrew its offices, and moved to larger quarters at 1860 Washington Street. English classes, group work, employment services, and social support activities filled the new building. While other immigrant service organizations encouraged “Americanization,” the Institute recognized the great importance of family unity and cultural traditions. The International Institute also became part of the University of California Social Work School’s Fieldwork Training Program, beginning a century-long tradition of educating immigrant services professionals.
