Education Austin invites the community to an educational forum from 6–8 p.m. Thursday, April 3, at Travis High School. The information on the process, fees, etc. will prepare attendees for the Citizenship Drive that will take place from 9 a.m.–2 p.m. Saturday, April 5, at Travis High School. The purpose of the Citizenship Drive is to help eligible permanent residents fill out a citizenship application.

We will have pro-bono lawyers on hand to check the applications. Education Austin is partnering with the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, Univision, University Leadership Initiative, National Education Association and TSTA in support of this effort. 

We need lots of volunteers to assist in filling out the forms. If you or someone you know wants to volunteer, please fill out this form:
