About Us:

In partnership with Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts, adult learners receive free and confidential, individual or small group instruction, to improve their reading, writing and conversational English skills. We also help learners prepare for their Hiset/GED and Citizenship tests.

On Dec. 1, 2020, USCIS implemented a revised version of the civics test for naturalization (2020 civics test). Due to recent policy changes, some applicants required to take the 2020 civics test may now have a choice to take the 2020 test or the 2008 civics test. Please note that beginning on April 19, 2021, USCIS will only offer the 2008 civics test at the initial interview appointment regardless of filing date.
