Our Story: From Volunteer Classrooms to Digital Platform

What began as a simple observation has grown into a movement. Rise to Citizen started in the classrooms of City College of San Francisco, where volunteers conducted mock citizenship interviews with immigrants from around the world. We saw firsthand the challenges aspiring citizens faced: confusing materials, lack of accessible resources, and the overwhelming nature of preparing for one of the most important tests of their lives.
