Central Coast Citizenship Project "The Citizenship Project is an immigrant community-based service, organizing and teaching center for immigrants and their families."

"Our Project was launched by a group of Mexican immigrant union activists in response to the passage of the anti-immigrant Proposition 187 in California in 1995."

General information

"Our current groups, campaigns and programs include: -Jovenes en Accion (Youth in Action): a self-governed, youth community service, advocacy and leadership movement organizing for educational and economic rights for documented and undocumented youth. -La Escuela de Libertad (Freedom School): is a grassroots, volunteer-led ESL/citizenship and literacy adult school, staffed mainly by youth volunteers teaching their less literate elders. Their model, developed by and for farm-workers, emphasizes learning about citizenship through civic action and is learning recognition by other unions and community-based groups interested in implementing similiar immigrant worker centers. -La alianza por un manana mejor: (Alliance for a Better Tomorrow): is a local group dedicated to non-partisan voter registration and education -Ciudadania Para Todos: (Citizenship for All) is our organizing model for immigration and naturalization assistance that is free or very low-cost accessible to all. We have trained over 2000 volunteers to help over 18,000 persons apply for U.S citizenship and over 14,000 new citizens register to vote. -Promotors Community Partnership: along with the Center for Community Advocacy, the Central Coast Citizenship Project provide health education and facilitate access to mental health services for unserved Latino adults, children and families throughout the county."
