Citizenship Day

Apr 5, 2021 | Community

We once again collaborated with Project Citizenship, signing up at a sponsorship level of 10 volunteers for their 6th annual Citizenship Day in Boston on September 28, 2019. Citizenship Day in Boston is the largest citizenship workshop in New England. Project Citizenship and the Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement partnered to host this event. Since 2014, close to 1,400 people have applied for citizenship on Citizenship Day in Boston, with over 400 people applying in 2019. We exceeded sponsorship level and had 12 people volunteer to assist Project Citizenship’s clients.
