OoC is charged with promoting instruction and training on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. USCIS recognizes that naturalization is a key milestone in the civic integration of immigrants. Naturalization requirements, such as knowledge of English and U.S. history and government, encourage civic learning and build a strong foundation upon which immigrants can fully integrate into society. Through preparing for naturalization, immigrants gain tools to become successful citizens and meet their responsibilities as United States citizens.
The goal of the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program is to expand the availability of high-quality citizenship preparation services for immigrants across the nation and to provide opportunities for immigrants to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to integrate into the fabric of American society.
Examples of potential innovations include, but are not limited to:
- Innovations that engage hard-to-reach populations
- Innovations in Citizenship preparation
- Innovations that build the capacity of other immigrant-serving organizations
- Innovations that support the digital access and digital literacy
- Innovations that develop new citizenship education tools or resources that can be shared nationally.
