BEHIND THE STORIES

Our Storytellers are trained by Suitcase Stories

The storytellers are trained in the art of crafting and performing stories by Suitcase Stories, a program of the International Institute of New England (IINE), one of the oldest and largest social service organizations for new Americans. IINE has offices in Boston, Lowell, and Manchester, NH and serves nearly 2,000 refugees, asylees and immigrants each year, providing resettlement, education, career advancement and pathways to citizenship.

Suitcase Stories is dedicated to raising the profiles of refugees and immigrants while strengthening community through the sharing of stories.
