Overcomers Refugee Services

Program Overview

Refugees are eligible to apply for citizenship after 5 years, but the learning begins right away. Overcomers provides citizenship classes 3 days per week to accommodate the varying work schedules of new Americans. Volunteers work with New Americans individually in order to provide instruction according to the student's current level and schedule.

We also refer clients to services and classes run by partner organizations like ESL (English as a Second Language) classes when our schedule does not meet their needs.

Student and Volunteer Success Stories

A recent student, a refugee from an African country and has passed the test for citizenship stated “My tutor is really good. She knows how to get in a person's head, understand, and teach them. I started with my tutor to learn English and we switched to studying for citizenship. She is easier to understand and learn from than any other teacher I have had. I passed my test in July 2023 after studying with another tutor and failing."
