Civics and Citizenship Toolkit : a collection of educational resources for immigrants 

What is the Civics and Citizenship Toolkit?

The Civics and Citizenship Toolkit is a collection of educational resources developed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) designed to help permanent residents learn more about the United States and prepare for the naturalization process.

The Quick Start Guide to the left provides suggestions on how to use the Toolkit and its materials to support immigrants in your community. Many programs, especially those new to serving immigrant communities, will find the publication Expanding ESL, Civics, and Citizenship Education in Your Community: A Start-Up Guide to be a valuable resource.

The kit contains:

• Welcome to the United States: A Guide for New Immigrants 
• Bienvenidos a los Estados Unidos de América: Guía para nuevos inmigrantes
• Civics Flash Cards for the Naturalization Test
• Learn About the United States: Quick Civics Lessons for the Naturalization Test
• Preparing for the Naturalization Test: A Pocket Study Guide 
• Preparación para el examen de naturalización: Guía de Bolsillo
• The Citizen's Almanac
• Expanding ESL, Civics, and Citizenship Education in Your Community: A Start-Up Guide 
• Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United States
