Help push us toward our goal!

Our goal by June 30 is to raise $14,000 from individual supporters. Several generous donors have already started us off, but we have a little ways to go. Can you help us reach our goal this year? With this money we can:

     
  • Help another 25 people become U.S. citizens
  • Double the number of clients receiving ESL instruction
  • Establish four more Survival ESL groups for refugee and immigrant elders

You can also sponsor a citizenship client for just $100 (make monthly installments online). As a Citizenship Sponsor you will recieve background information and regular updates on the client's progress toward citizenship. Become a Citizenship Sponsor...
