About

Naturalize Charlotte's mission is to increase naturalizations in the greater Charlotte area by connecting residents with citizenship information, resources, & assistance. The Naturalize Charlotte Group consists of ten nonprofit and government organizations who meet regularly to coordinate naturalization assistance efforts. The Naturalize Charlotte website provides a central hub of information and connects those seeking to be naturalized as United States Citizens to resources from the organizations in the Naturalize Charlotte Group. The Naturalize Charlotte Group and the Naturalize Charlotte website both serve as unifying forces in the community by establishing coordination among nonprofits and connecting volunteers and clients to organizations.
