Founded in 1961, The International Center in New York (ICNY) is a unique community where immigrants, refugees, students and other newcomers to the United States come to practice English and learn about American culture. Each year, we provide 2,500 newcomers, from 95 different countries, with a wide range of language and cultural programs through our corps of 1,000 volunteers.
