Ollin
Proyecto Ollin is a grant funded initiative through USCIS, that allows Amistades and the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to help our community members who haven’t become citizens yet, but can. As part of this USCIS-sponsored project, we partner with local businesses to encourage legal permanent residents (LPRs) in the workforce to take the next step and become U.S. citizens.
