Photos: Our Programs: At New American Initiative Citizenship Rallies, held once a month at various locations around the Aurora- Elgin-Joliet area, immigrants can get the personalized information they need. Should they apply? How to apply? How to get ESL or citizenship classes? Family Focus staff and volunteer lawyers find the right answers for each person. In order to help 1,000 immigrants enter the citizenship pipeline during the first year of the program, Family Focus Aurora is conducting extensive outreach to churches, schools and soccer leagues as well as holding workshops and going door-to-door. Need help with citizenship? Contact Family Focus Aurora . Prevention Initiative Program Helps Young Children and their Parents The Aurora Center offers individual case management for families, early literacy training, and support groups and home visits for parents of young children. While parents meet for group sessions, attend parenting skills training and get support for their individual concerns, their children are engaged in developmentally appropriate activities. Thanks to a team-building session supported by the Chicago Community Trust, Family Focus Aurora was able to draw on the collective expertise of other Family Focus centers with existing 0-3 programs for immigrant families when designing a program geared to the needs of East Aurora. This program, supported by funding from the Illinois State Board of Education ’s Prevention Initiative, is designed to assist Latino immigrant families in preparing their children for school and offer them easy access to developmentally appropriate learning experiences for their children.
