Who We Are
We are Empowering Citizens an up and coming community organization located in Milwaukee, WI, founded by two individuals with a passion and dedication to helping the immigrant community. Our story goes beyond a single dream and desire to help, it starts with our founders' immigration journeys and their path to living and achieving their American Dream!
Daniel Gutierrez a DACA beneficiary and Nury Madrigal a naturalized U.S. citizen, with a life dream and a desire to make a real change in their community co-founded Empowering Citizens | Empoderando Ciudadanos in May of 2019 and officially opened the doors of ECEC in October of the same year.
We at Empowering Citizens are dedicated to helping the immigrant community find the resources they need to secure their future in the United States. Empowering Citizens specializes in helping lawful permanent residents prepare for their naturalization civics exam with USCIS to become active citizens of the United States.

What We Do
Helping You Become an Active Citizen of the United States

We are a community organization that provides high-quality citizenship classes for permanent residents to help them become active citizens of the United States. Empowering Citizens offers interpretation services for USCIS interviews, translation of documents, and legal referrals, and provides educational materials needed for your journey toward U.S. citizenship. In addition, Empowering Citizens works collaboratively with community-based partners in Milwaukee, WI, and nationally known organizations to provide a range of support services, civics instruction, and citizenship application assistance.
Please note that Empowering Citizens does not provide any legal advice. If you need an immigration attorney, please refer to our list of trusted immigration attorneys or call us for a legal referral.

Citizenship Classes

Are you ready to become a naturalized citizen of the U.S.? Register for our Citizenship Classes today! Our volunteer instructors will work with you to ensure you are more than ready for your civics exam with USCIS.
Empowering Citizens provides each student enrolled with all the materials needed to succeed. To continue our work and mission, we ask for a one-time $50 donation. However, if a student is unable to cover this donation, no student will be turned away. Part of our mission is to help eliminate any barriers to the immigration process for citizenship, including obstacles such as cost and fees. Class Information:
