Project Citizenship

Project Citizenship is a nonprofit agency that works collaboratively with community-based partners to help eligible, legal permanent residents overcome barriers to becoming a U.S. citizen. Project Citizenship offers FREE workshops providing eligibility screening, application assistance, legal referrals and all materials needed to apply for U.S. citizenship. In addition, Project Citizenship partner agencies provide a range of support services, including civics instruction, application assistance, and ESOL classes. Why We Do What We Do: We focus exclusively on citizenship because of the values that we hold as an organization: Inclusion: We welcome immigrants in the community and encourage them to become citizens as soon as they are eligible. Democracy: We promote civic engagement among immigrants, to make new citizens active participants in their communities and country. Opportunity: We promote the value of citizenship. Citizenship provides opportunities for increased access to benefits, jobs, and advancement for immigrants, their children, families and future generations to come. Community: We inspire and assist immigrants to gain the benefits of citizenship to strengthen community ties. Collaboration: We engage community-based organizations, partners and pro bono legal services to make Project Citizenship a community-driven, cost-effective model that is able to serve a vast number of immigrants across New England.
