As early as 1917, the Lewiston-Auburn (Maine) YWCA had appointed an immigraton secretary. In 1919, it opened the International Institute, which was maintained until 1928 in separate quarters, and was then moved into the main building. For several years, the Institute retained semi-autonomous status, but by 1941 had been reorganized as a Foreign Community department. The Department was discontinued in 1946.
