Be The Change! Become a Citizenship Instructor

Save to Favorites

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. Classes are given in English/Spanish, so bilingual instructors are highly preferred. 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.
