Citizenship

Citizenship encompasses not only legal and political aspects but also broader social, cultural, and civic dimensions. Citizenship education aims to empower individuals with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to participate actively, responsibly, and effectively in their communities and society as a whole.

 

Instruction is designed for foreign-born adults who wish to become United States citizens. Persons completing this program are prepared to pursue citizenship through the prescribed process of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
