Volunteers of the Month   

Xiomara Mena and Lucy Cristancho have been members of the Volunteer Corps for almost three years. In 2012 they attended a Citizenship Now! event at LaGuardia Community College as part of a group. Since then, they have attended countless events almost always together. We sat down with them at our October 25th Brooklyn event to hear their thoughts on being part of our Volunteer Corps.

CUNY Citizenship Now!

 

Recent Events
CUNY Citizenship Now recently held two Citizenship Application Assistance Events in Queens and Brooklyn. On October 18, we held a NYCitizenship in Schools event sponsored by the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs. Forty seven volunteers came out and assisted 131 participants interested in naturalizing. On October 25th we held an event at Sunset Park High School in Brooklyn where 45 participants were helped with determining their eligibility for citizenship. Council Member Carlos Menchaca, CUNY Vice Chancellor, Jay Hershenson and the Consul General of Mexico in New York, Emb. Sandra Fuentes-Berain came out in support of volunteers and to thank them for their effort in helping others in the community.
