The Citizenship Project @ LBJ Library
The Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library proudly offers The Citizenship Project digital course, in partnership with the New-York Historical Society. This program will provide free online citizenship classes for United States green card holders preparing for the civics test portion of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) naturalization interview. The course covers EVERY question that could be asked of someone in their civics/history interview.
Participation in these classes is not limited to any age range or ability level. The only requirement to participate is having a valid U.S. green card. It is recommended to have a moderate level of English due to the speed of the course. This course would not be suitable for young learners (pre-teens and younger).
Courses are typically offered at the beginning of the year (January- February) and around the start of the school year (September- October) and are held 1-2x a week for 6-weeks.
Stay tuned for the next session registration period.

Each program is led by one of our educators located at National Archives sites, the Center for Legislative Archives, and Presidential Libraries across the country.
