Citizenship Classes

The mission of our Citizenship Classes is to reduce barriers faced by immigrants and low-income families with limited English proficiency, helping them achieve greater opportunity and equality in life. These classes go beyond language instruction—they equip students with practical knowledge and the confidence needed to navigate U.S. society and improve their quality of life.

Currently, we offer bilingual Citizenship Classes in Korean/English and Spanish/English. The curriculum integrates foundational English language skills with essential civics content, including topics such as the naturalization process, U.S. government structure, basic American history, and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

1:1 English Tutoring & Korean Language Classes

At HANA Center, we believe that language and culture are deeply interconnected and that language is a powerful tool for empowerment. We offer the following programs designed to empower our communities through education:

  • 1:1 English Tutoring is a highly flexible option focused on improving speaking skills. We match students with volunteer native English-speaking tutors to meet their individual goals. These sessions help students gain language skills that are vital for finding employment, communicating at work, securing housing, navigating the school system, using public transportation, accessing healthcare, and more. Most importantly, students gain the confidence to manage daily life more independently.

  • Korean Language Classes are open to Korean Americans, adoptees, and family members of Koreans who wish to deepen their understanding of Korean language, culture, and history. These classes foster stronger communication within families and communities, while also reconnecting students with their heritage.

Smartphone & Computer Classes

HANA Center offers essential smartphone and computer training to help community members build the digital literacy skills they need to navigate today’s rapidly changing technology. 

Digital literacy skills are now a part of nearly every aspect of daily life—from communication and accessing information to using online services and staying connected with family, friends, and the community. Our classes provide practical tools and hands-on learning opportunities to help participants confidently embrace new technology, become more independent, and improve their quality of life.
