Over the past 10 years, more than 7.5 million people became naturalized U.S. citizens. There are still many more eligible permanent residents, also known as green card holders, that don't work towards citizenship within the United States because they are concerned about the citizenship test and interview.  CCVL offers help in preparing for the United States Citizenship exam, and our Citizenship Program is designed to help beginning and low intermediate ESL students who lack the English skills necessary to apply for citizenship. Students will gain the knowledge and skills they need for the citizenship test while improving their English language skills. Classes and materials are free to all of our students.
