ESL Citizenship (Lower Level)
66 Raymond Avenue
This citizenship class prepares low-level, ESL students to pass the citizenship exams given by the Immigration and Naturalization Services in order for them to become American citizens. In addition to the use of a textbook, students are given teacher-prepared materials. Volunteer college students from San Francisco State University and San Francisco City College in Projects Shine and Sail as well as other programs are recruited to maximize the student's learning opportunities by providing individualized coaching and mock interview sessions. Our students' passing rate is very high; therefore, many new recruits are referred by successful former students. We encourage our new citizens to vote and be involved residents in their own communities.
