Naturalization Day - On a quarterly basis, Hope For Tomorrow partners with local civil legal aid organizations to provide free legal assistance to those seeking to become U.S. citizens. Volunteer attorneys participate in Naturalization Days to help students of the Hope Citizenship Workshops and other members of the community complete applications for naturalization.
Night of Burma - Night of Burma brings education of the Burmese culture to the community. Educating the community about the Burmese traditional dress, native food, and dances that exemplify the culture. We aim to make this an event that will bring us closer together as one larger community of God's people. We also hope it brings understanding and appreciation of how far the Burmese people have come. Hope For Tomorrow uses this event as an opportunity to fulfill its mission statement, "Building bridges between the Burmese and American communities."
