Recent Event   

 

Summer is almost over, but CUNY Citizenship Now! turned up the heat in our latest citizenship event. On September 6th we held a Citizenship Application Assistance Event with MOIA to commence year three of the NYCitizenship in Schools program. The event was held at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn. Forty four volunteers and 36 staff members helped 91 participants, out of which 63 completed their application for naturalization. Click here to read more and see photos of the event.

Poll Question  

You are a volunteer on the Application
Assistance Station helping a participant
with their N-400 and realize that they are
struggling to answer basic questions
because their English is so limited. You

screening station, and you see nothing
written about it.
