Our Mission at 1 Citizen at a Time –

To help future American citizens by providing individual mentorship and guidance on the naturalization process and in-person tutoring for the U.S. citizenship interview and civics exam.

Hi, my name is Chase and I am currently a high school student living in NYC. My maternal and paternal grandparents are immigrants to the United States and went through the process of becoming naturalized U.S. citizens. Over my life, I have witnessed all the hard work, diversity, and dedication immigrants contribute to this country. Working with individuals preparing for their U.S. citizenship interview, I have realized the profound impact it has made on their lives. I want to be able to spread this effect and help even more people take the steps toward becoming U.S. citizens.

Growing up and having immigrant grandparents on both sides of the family, I realized how much they would have appreciated and benefited from a person or an organization that helped them through the process of becoming U.S. citizens. Whether that meant helping them with conversational skills, preparing them for the citizenship test, or even just being someone they could ask questions to in such a stressful time.

This is the genesis of 1 Citizen at a Time which dates to 2022, further supported by the thousands of asylum-seekers and immigrants arriving to NYC every month. Each with a different dream and life story, these individuals came seeking an opportunity for a new life.

I am committed to doing everything I can to try and help you along your journey, please reach out and let’s see if we can find an opportunity to work together.
