El Civics is a federally funded program directed to help newcomers live successful lives in the United States. The goal is to assist programs in providing instruction in civics that goes beyond the classroom lessons that require students to apply their English in a practical way in the community so that they can fulfill their roles as family members, workers, and community participants.
