Citizenship Preparation

Literacy Source's citizenship program offers:

• Citizenship classes
• One-on-one or small group tutoring
• Practice interviews with a staff member or trained volunteer
• Citizenship application and fee waiver assistance for eligible adults
• Referrals for legal advice
• Community engagement opportunities

Classes are taught in English and meet once or twice a week. Trained volunteers will teach you about U.S. history and civics, interviewing skills, and civic engagement. You will also study the reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills that you need to pass the citizenship test.

For more information about who is eligible to apply for U. S. citizenship, visit the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Website.

You must have your Permanent Resident card (PR or green card) and be planning to apply for citizenship to receive citizenship services at Literacy Source. It is our priority to provide citizenship assistance to low-income adults who live in the city of Seattle.

Let staff know if you have already applied for citizenship and if you have a citizenship test coming up soon!
