Sometimes, the impact of a grant is best told through one person's story. 💙

A Homegrown Grant helped Community Center for Immigrants MKE expand literacy and citizenship preparation services. One participant, Sultan, enrolled in citizenship classes after arriving as a refugee. He became a U.S. citizen, continued studying English, and began volunteering as a driver to help fellow students get to class.

Most recently, Sultan celebrated another milestone: casting his vote for the very first time! 🗳️

Stories like his demonstrate how education, opportunity, and community support can create meaningful change.
