About this site

Citizen Navigator helps U.S. citizens — whether born here, naturalized, citizens through their parents, or people who first came as refugees or asylees — understand their responsibilities and find their way to official government services and federal job opportunities.

We explain unfamiliar systems in plain English, define acronyms, and point to the official agency for every task. We treat our readers as capable adults learning something new.

We do not make legal decisions, determine eligibility, or offer jobs. We have no partnerships with government agencies and accept no endorsements.
