Volunteers needed for citizenship program

Volunteers are needed to help teach a U.S. citizenship preparation program to begin July 25 at the Main Kansas City, Kansas, Public Library, 625 Minnesota Ave.

Volunteers would serve as lead teachers and tutors to help new immigrants learn English needed for the citizenship test and interview.

Volunteer training will be held July 18 and 19 at the library.

Volunteers must be able to teach from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays or Thursdays, and must be at least 18 years old.

The free citizenship class is being offered by the Kansas City, Kansas, Public Library and Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas.
