The mission of the Presentation Lantern Center is to offer
hospitality, education and advocacy to adult immigrants
who are striving to better their lives.

At Presentation Lantern Center visitors are greeted by staff and volunteers. They receive a tutor with whom they study English; they learn practical life skills to use in a new country; they meet many people from other countries of origin; they share their stories and cultures; and they experience so much more!  Since 2002, we have served over 2,200 immigrants, including children and aided 127 immigrants in obtaining U.S. citizenship.

Give the Gift of Hope this holiday season with a donation to our THANKSGIVING APPEAL!

2024 Statistics:

Volunteers contributed 4,878 hours to support 250+ language learners! Our tutors have helped 127 learners become U.S. citizens!
