Project FINE

Welcome          Bienvenidos         Tos Txais       Dobro Došli

Project FINE is a nonprofit organization that helps newcomers integrate into the community.   Our mission is to strengthen and enrich our community by facilitating the integration of people who are ethnically diverse.

We provide foreign language interpreters and translators as well as opportunities for education, information, referral, and empowerment for immigrants and refugees. Our work is accomplished through a small staff, volunteers, interpreters, and extensive collaboration with local service providers.

Project FINE has been serving refugees and immigrants in Winona County and the surrounding area since 1990. We offer a variety of services to both newcomers and established residents and work closely with over 60 community partners to provide information and access to resources.

As of the 2010 Census, the only population increase in our community was among diverse individuals. This growth is expected to continue, as will the challenges of cultural and language barriers that prevent newcomers from accessing services, gaining employment and building a new life in our community.

Project FINE serves as a connection point for refugees and immigrants, helping build contributing individuals, healthy families and a stronger, more respectful community for all.
