Citizenship
Inspired Citizenship
According to the U.S. Census, nearly 1-third of Azusa residents were born outside the United States. The goal of our Inspired Citizenship program is to empower our community and encourage stronger civic participation for all City of Azusa residents. The immigrant community often faces barriers to citizenship, due to low or interrupted education levels and limited English proficiency.
Created by the Azusa City Library, Inspired Citizenship is a program to help adults prepare to become United States citizens. The library offers:
- weekly classes
- study materials
- 1-on-1 coaching
- special information workshops to help you and your family achieve your dreams of becoming U.S. citizens
For a schedule of classes and more information, please visit the library or call (626) 812-5268. Your path to citizenship starts at the Azusa City Library!
If you are interested in helping your neighbors prepare for the naturalization exam, the library is seeking volunteers to become Citizenship Coaches.
