Dear Friends and Activists,
We'd like to remind you that CUNY Citizenship Now! will be holding its fifth Haitian TPS Application Assistance event on Saturday June 11th, to provide services to those Haitians who qualify under for TPS re-registration or re-designation. We invite our Volunteer Corps members and other CUNY Citizenship Now! friends to come out and volunteer, especially those who speak Haitian Creole or French OR those who have experience with TPS issues.
Volunteers at this event will be assisting applicants in completing their TPS forms, translating/interpreting for event participants, and providing additional services necessary to properly complete the TPS application.
In addition, we encourage you to invite your Haitian Creole and French speaking friends and neighbors to come with you and lend a hand.
Once you have registered, you will be sent a confirmation e-mail. Prior to the event, you will also receive links to preparation materials that cover the application process and the procedures for this event.
Please note: A training/orientation session and breakfast will also take place the morning of the event at 9:00 a.m. So we ask you to please arrive before then.
