Eliminating barriers. Empowering neighbors.

Over half the families in our neighborhood speak a language other than English at home, and more than a third are foreign-born. At New Hope, we walk alongside our immigrant neighbors with programs that build confidence, open doors, and foster belonging. Whether someone is learning English, navigating paperwork, or preparing for citizenship, we’re here to help eliminate the barriers that stand in the way.

English as a Second Language (ESL)

We offer low-cost ESL classes at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Each semester includes conversation partners and free child care. More than 130 students enroll each year, many of whom go on to find work or join other programs because of their improved English skills.

Citizenship Preparation

We help participants prepare for the U.S. Citizenship Exam through dedicated prep classes and one-on-one coaching. Our team also assists with completing the N-400 Application for Naturalization.

Immigration Support & Referrals

We partner with NPZ Law Group to provide trusted referrals and legal updates for families navigating immigration concerns. While New Hope does not offer legal representation, we connect participants to the information and support they need to move forward with confidence.
