At Centro de Información, we believe in celebrating milestones that shape our community. Our Civic Promise Dinner is dedicated to recognizing and honoring the incredible achievement of our community members who have recently become U.S. citizens.

To celebrate the hard work and dedication it takes to achieve citizenship.
To empower our new citizens with knowledge about civic engagement and voter participation.
To create a supportive environment where they can connect with community leaders and fellow citizens.
This dinner is more than a celebration – it’s a commitment to nurturing informed, active, and engaged community members.
At Centro de Información, we are proud to stand alongside our community members as they take this significant step forward.
Interested in Volunteering?
Centro de Información's second annual Civic Promise Dinner will celebrate an important milestone for many of our clients who have become new U.S. Citizens within the last year.
