The International Center in Manhattan has fallen victim to the economic recession and will have to close by the end of the month, according to its board. The center has helped immigrants adapt to American culture for decades. The organization, which is now facing eviction, currently teaches about 1,500 immigrant students English for no cost and has provided hundreds with a home away from home.

Although the board is dissolving the nonprofit after failing to come to an agreement with the landlord, the International Center’s volunteers and staff members are fighting to find a way to hold on to what they describe as “a home, a family and a cultural hub.”
