Citizenship and Civics

An instructor provides students with the opportunity to prepare for and pass the Citizenship test. Through the civics sessions, the students learn about the history of our country, how our political system works and its importance in their role as active volunteers and social responsible community members. They also learn the responsibilities and obligations that come with being an American citizen. *From 2007- 2018 over 350 students became American citizens!

Arts & Crafts

Once a week, community members and our students have the opportunity to interact while building community relationships through a common interest in sewing or cultural arts and crafts.
