Be The Change! Become a Summer Citizenship Instructor (Volunteer)

Save to Favorites

HUMBOLDT PARK

We offer talented individuals the opportunity to assist our enthusiastic adult students on the path to becoming citizens. Instructors will help our students familiarize themselves with U.S. history and civics while improving their English skills and conversational confidence in order to pass the U.S. Citizenship Exam. Instructors with Spanish language skills are preferred. Instructors are asked to volunteer on Fridays from 10am-11:30am at the Monsignor Thiele Center in Humboldt Park. Interested instructors will have the opportunity to observe a class and receive free training prior to starting. Once onboarded, you will have the knowledge and resources of dedicated staff to assist you in becoming an effective Citizenship Instructor.
