The immigration rights workgroup worked with St. Patrick’s Church and the IRC (International Rescue Committee) to help five people apply for citizenship. The IRC also worked with several other individuals who needed help with immigration issues. We are grateful for the work that the IRC does for the immigrant community.Every Monday and Wednesday we have a language exchange group, the number attending changes, but it’s a good way for us to get to know each other.
The immigration rights group is also tutoring school-age students. I hope more are willing to volunteer, since summer is a great time for students to catch up
or advance.
Please call to help us out! We need volunteers to assist with citizenship test prep classes. (Did you know that to become a citizen, an applicant must answer 100 questions in English?) We also need basic American history and government books. They should be either in Spanish or in simple English for a person whose second language is English.
Come join us! It’s very rewarding. Send a text to Becky Guinn, 530-903-0402.
