Abstract:
This program development guide outlines a step-by-step process to create or sustain an adult citizenship education program and includes products and resources from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for use at each stage of program development.
Adult citizenship education programs help lawful permanent residents who are eligible for naturalization improve their English language skills and learn about the history and government of the United States, skills and knowledge they need for successful naturalization. Many adult citizenship education programs also refer students to accredited representatives or recognized organizations for legal service or provide such assistance themselves. Equally important, though, is that high-quality adult citizenship education programs help newcomers adjust and successfully acclimate to life in the United States. This program development guide outlines a step-by-step process to create or sustain an adult citizenship education program and includes products and resources from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for use at each stage of program development.
