JFS Citizenship Training - Helping You Achieve the American Dream
Our citizenship training provides refugees with the formal education, one-on-one tutoring, advocacy, language translation, and general support needed for people to become citizens of the United States. Two of the major components of this program include:
Education
| • We offer nine classes, twice per week, each running an hour and one-half long. These classes are offered year-round at our administration building in Tamarac Square. |
| • Our curriculum consists of English as a Second Language and United States History and Civics. |
| • The time a student participates in these classes before taking the citizenship test ranges from eight classes to two or more years. |
Support
| • We assist with the completion of the N-400 U.S. Citizenship Application. |
| • Our staff helps translates documents and interviews between potential citizens and Immigration and Naturalization officers. |
| • We advocate for medical certification for disability exceptions and fee waivers especially for seniors living on low, fixed incomes. |
| • Through our Refugee Mental Health Program, we provide counseling and mental health services. |
