The Citizenship Program at the Pan-African Association was developed in response to the increasing number of Africans and those of African descent who wish to become naturalized citizens of the United States. 

The program's aim is to provide students not only with the necessary information and confidence crucial to passing the citizenship exam but also to encourage people to become lifelong active community members.  Among its many services are: citizenship application assistance, individual counseling, free English and civics classes, tutoring in test preparation, and individual mentorship.
