Meet Jasmine! Jasmine has been volunteering as a citizenship tutor with NCICC for almost a
year. Jasmine loves using her passion for history and government to help her community. She
enjoys helping students connect ideas instead of memorizing separate facts. She believes this
helps students understand what the questions on the citizenship test actually mean, and why they are relevant to becoming a U.S. citizen. Of her tutoring experience, she says, “the most
rewarding part of being a tutor has been seeing people come back after passing the citizenship
exam.” She remembers the feeling of finding out that her first student passed the citizenship test, “I felt like I had done something worthwhile.” To Jasmine, NCICC is about helping people in
uncertain situations feel more secure. It’s about helping people who have busy schedules, with
little time to think about anything other than taking care of their families, to have a simple and
straightforward path to citizenship. Jasmine recognizes the beauty and importance of the NCICC
community, “It’s a community where people meet other people who are going through the exact
same thing as they are. That is so important.” Thank you, Jasmine, for volunteering with us! We
appreciate your efforts and the deep care you have for your students.
