On April 25, 2011, Myriam Sanchez Hildenbrand volunteered at the CUNY Citizenship Now/Daily News call-in event. The event assists immigrants from the tri-state area seeking assistance with their citizenship applications. This year over 12,500 callers were served during this week-long event.

Some additional information from the CUNY website:
“Since 2004, the annual CUNY/ Daily News Citizenship NOW! Call-In has provided nearly 100,000 callers with free, confidential information on immigration issues ranging from U.S. citizenship to residency to family petitions. Hundreds of volunteers participate in this event each year, many of them trained by CUNY Citizenship Now!”
“For one week each spring, we open the phones from 9am to 7pm to take calls from anyone seeking immigration information or resources. Our overall capacity has more than doubled since the event’s kickoff year. In 2011, close to 400 volunteers assisted 12,526 callers in 48 different languages.”
