New Citizenshipworks Learning Center 


Citizenshipwork launched a new learning center this month, "About Citizenship." It features plain language articles in English and Spanish on citizenship basics and common questions for prospective applicants. Topics include qualifying for citizenship, the process, the interview, the costs, the upcoming fee changes and more. In the year ahead, we will add informative and timely articles to help people understand the naturalization process. Do you know someone who is thinking about applying for citizenship? Send them to https://www.citizenshipworks.org/en/citizenship to learn more. 


Join us! You are invited to write or share a plain language article for the learning center. We can work with you to create or link easy-to-understand legal content. To contribute, contact [email protected].
