International Population of Bowling Green. Bowling Green is well-known for having a large international com- munity. One of Western Kentucky University’s selling points is the large international reach, both home in Bowling Green and the ability to go abroad. Not only is this a destination for internation- al students or teacher, but refu- gees. Bowling Green International Center is a refugee resettlement agency that works to give refu- gees a chance at a new and bet- ter life. When they first come to Amer- ica, the refugee population often struggles to find work. Many work at the multitude of resturants around Bowling Green, while other work at different factories. The International Center offers many services to refu- gees looking to find a job. “Started in 1981, the In- ternational Center has helped to resettle over 10,000 refugees, vic- tims of human traffick- ing, asylees, parolees, and others with similar status, as well as other immigrants from thirty (30) countries around the globe.” Bowling Green Interna- tional Center 1
