Con la misma importancia, el instituto ha buscado maneras de mantener la cultura mientras los recién llegados se acostumbran a la vida americana. Dorcas Place, quien se concéntra en educación para adultos y clases de inglés, recientemente se unió con el Instituto Internacional, una organización que originalmente se dedicaba a las mujeres y niñas inmigrantes. En un tiempo en donde algunos trabajadores sociales criticaban a las familias Italianas por seguir comiendo espagueti, el Instituto Internacional apoyaba a los inmigrantes por conservar las raíces de su raza. 
<p class="Normal1">En el 1967, el Instituto Internacional le dio hogar al Club Cubano, fundado por el Doctor Eduardo Salabert y su esposa Virginia, inmigrantes cubanos cuyos hijos fueron traídos a los Estados Unidos durante la <em>Operación Pedro Pan</em>. El Club Cubano creó una fundación con el objetivo de ayudar a los recién llegados a empezar de nuevo.  </p><p><em><strong><a href="https://rhodetour.org/items/show/108">For more (including 2 images) view the original article</a></strong></em></p>]]></summary>
