Join Virtual Sessions on the Naturalization Process
ODL and USCIS Celebrate American Citizenship with Free Zoom Sessions on the Naturalization Process
“The bosom of America is open to receive not only the Opulent and respected Stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all Nations and Religions; whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges…” —George Washington
Each September 17, Americans celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. The date also kicks off Constitution Week, September 17-23. It’s a time for Americans to reflect on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and what it means to be a U.S. citizen.
To celebrate these important commemorative dates, the Oklahoma Department of Libraries has joined with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to host two free Zoom sessions to discuss the Naturalization process, and everyone is invited!
- Session One: For Literacy Tutors, Adult Learning Instructors, and anyone interested in learning about the Naturalization Process
Monday, September 21, 10:00 a.m. to Noon CST on Zoom - Session Two: For immigrants interested in learning more about the Naturalization Process
Monday, September 21, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. CST on Zoom
To join either or both Zoom Sessions contact Rebecca Barker in ODL’s Literacy Resource Office: Rebecca.Barker@libraries.ok.gov or 405-522-3205. She’ll share instructions to help you join these online sessions.
Whether you’re assisting an immigrant seeking citizenship, wish to become a citizen, or just want to learn more about the naturalization path, we hope you’re able to join us. For all of us, these sessions will be a reminder of the freedoms and responsibilities conferred to all who have the privilege of calling themselves citizens of the United States of America.
The Oklahoma Department of Libraries has championed the cause of adult literacy since 1983. ODL’s Literacy Resource Office provides resources, leadership, and technical assistance to library and community-based literacy programs throughout the state.
United States Citizenship and Immigrations Services assists people who are taking steps to become U.S. citizens. To help them prepare, USCIS offers study resources for the civics and English portions of the naturalization interview and test.
