Your Support is Appreciated!
As we were not able to have an in-person event this year, we are offering this virtual festival at no charge! If you would like to contribute to the International Institute of Wisconsin, producers of Folk Fair, please consider making a donation.
Revenue generated annually by Holiday Folk Fair International supports the programs and services offered by the International Institute of Wisconsin, including…
Immigration and Citizenship Services
The IIW provides low-cost family based immigration and naturalization counseling/technical assistance, as its accredited staff and attorney assist individuals and families with adjustment of status, naturalizations, relative petitions, and travel documents.
Refugee Resettlement
Working with the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, the IIW resettles individuals who have fled their homes from persecution based on nationality, race, religion, ideology, or social group. The organization supports housing, employment, medical, transportation, and educational needs of refugees so they quickly become contributing community members.
Citizen Diplomacy
The IIW coordinates meetings with international leaders and their local counterparts, fostering cultural exchange between international visitors and Wisconsinites.
Educational Programs
Through classes, workshops, and special programs, the IIW raises awareness on cultural and international topics, including the annual Holiday Folk Fair International Education Day.
Interpretation and Translation Services
Offering linguistically and culturally appropriate interpretation and translation services, the IIW works with schools, medical providers, the justice system, and other organizations.
Information Clearinghouse
The IIW is a resource for international, cultural, ethnic, folkloric, immigrant, and refugee social service issues, and provide tools for businesses operating in the global market and the community at large.
Internship Program
The IIW ensures undergraduate and graduate interns advance their education by developing professional development plans that bridge the gap between academics and the real world, and sharpen their professional skills.
