Resources

Part of the ministry of FIRM is helping refugees find the community resources and government processes they need.  In this section of our website, you’ll find information and links that FIRM commonly uses to help clients.

FIRM Citizenship/Civics Program

FIRM provides free Citizenship/Civics classes for the Hmong and Laotian community.  When cohorts are in session, classes take place Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM-11:00 AM (Laotian) and 11:00 AM-12:00 PM (Hmong).  

FIRM staff and volunteers will provide support in preparing for the Naturalization test, assist with the Application for Naturalization (as well as applying for applicable fee waivers) and even teach students about the history of the United States of America.  

If you would like to become a citizen of the United States, come see us today!  For more information, please contact:

  • Vicki Kham at [email protected] (Laotian)
  • Sam Chang at [email protected] (Hmong)

to enroll in the current cohort. If you would like to become a citizen of the United States, come see us today!
