With many benefits of US Citizenship, such as the right to vote, to petition for family members in another country, and evidence of increased employment and income opportunities, why are more individuals not seeking US citizenship? The program at the MIRA Coalition and the other partners in the region and nation are working to make the citizenship process more accessible to individuals throughout the state and building the power within immigrant communities throughout the country to positively affect change in the immigration system in the United States.

  •          Build partnerships and coordinate with community partners to promote the citizenship program and hold at least one citizenship clinic
             per month throughout Boston and the state
  •          Outreach to, communicate with and carry out referrals, application assistance, and review for naturalization clients
  •          Recruit, manage and train interns and a large corps of volunteers to carry out citizenship application workshops
  •          Manage grant reporting and case-management for Citizenship Program
  •          Manage data collection and program evaluation to build strategies to reach more clients and improve quality of services offered
  •          Create materials for, and contribute to, national-level trainings bringing immigrant integration information to underserved populations
