Boston Citizenship Day

Boston Citizenship Day is New England’s largest one-day citizenship application workshop, where hundreds of permanent residents receive free legal assistance to begin their journey toward U.S. citizenship.

Hosted annually by Project Citizenship in collaboration with the City of Boston, this event helps eligible residents apply for citizenship and fee waivers with support from attorneys and trained volunteers.

What Happens on Citizenship Day?

Boston Citizenship Day is a free, one-day event that helps lawful permanent residents begin their journey toward U.S. citizenship. Volunteer attorneys, law students, and community members come together to offer free legal guidance and help with fee waivers for low-income applicants.

Since Boston “Cit Day” began in 2014, we’ve helped over 3,000 participants, from more than 100 countries, complete applications and over 1,800 fee waivers. In 2025, we served more than 300 aspiring citizens in just one day.
