The Arab-American Family Support Center (AAFSC) cordially invites you to join us for a U.S. Citizenship Celebration honoring the accomplishments of over 50 adults enrolled in our programs who passed their U.S. citizenship interview and exam in 2022.
This year marks the first year our students have returned to in-person instruction since the pandemic began. Based in our Atlantic Avenue Community Center, our Adult Readiness program provides ESOL classes, civics education, and citizenship test prep to immigrant and refugee families in a safe and confidential space. To best protect our community members and fellow guests, please bring a mask to wear indoors. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required.
