Citizenship Classes

Our Citizenship Classes are at the heart of our mission. Our team is dedicated to helping immigrants obtain citizenship, affording them essential rights and protections enjoyed by U.S. Citizens.

Through our Citizenship Classes, we equip adult immigrants with the knowledge and skills necessary to pass the naturalization exam. By doing so, we aim to help them secure full U.S. Citizenship, granting them access to valuable rights and protections such as voting, federal job opportunities, retirement security, education options, and active participation in civic life.

English Language Classes:

Language is a powerful tool for inclusion and empowerment. Our English Language classes empower adult immigrants by improving their English language skills, facilitating effective communications, and fostering a deeper sense of belonging in their new community. We aim to boost their confidence and communication abilities, enriching lives within our community.
