Why they invest in HUF and its programs

BB&T supports HUF’s Pathways to Citizenship program which provides Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs) in South Florida the opportunity to learn about the rights and responsibilities of American citizens, become civically engaged, and embrace the culture of the country they are making their new home. Participants also learn American history and civics.

The Pathways to Citizenship program annually empowers and provides more than 1,000 immigrants with the resources needed to obtain their United States citizenship and help them become informed and engaged citizens. It also provides their families with access to a full range of education, health and economic development services to build self-sufficiency and move ahead in life.
