The Citizenship Project

The CMCH has partnered with The New-York Historical Society to offer free citizenship classes for green card holders preparing for the naturalization interview. The classes prepare green card holders to take the civics test portion of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) naturalization interview.

This free course covers all 100 questions from the USCIS Civics test. Participants will learn about American government and history using objects, paintings, and documents from the CMCH and The New-York Historical Society collections.

Classes are taught in English and are recommended for intermediate level English Language Learners.

Each course runs for 6 weeks and meets twice per week, for a total of 12 class meetings.

Our next online course begins on Monday, June 13, 2022.. The class will meet every Monday and Thursday (except July 4) from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM for 6 weeks. Click here to sign up! This class is taught online using Zoom.

If you are interested in taking the course sooner, you can take online classes with the New-York Historical Society. Click here to see their available classes.
