Through preparing for naturalization, applicants will gain the tools to be vested citizens ready to exercise their rights and meet their responsibilities as United...
States citizens.The goals of this grant program are to expand the availability of high quality citizenship preparation programs across the nation through the creation of new programs within existing organizations, strengthen emerging citizenship preparation programs, and build long-term capacity of local organizations to provide direct citizenship preparation services to LPRs in communities most in need of those services.
