Greater Bergen Community Action
Greater Bergen Community Action, Inc. - GBCA is a 501(c) (3), not-for-profit Community Action Agency. Established in 1967, Greater Bergen is part of a nationwide network of poverty-fighting enterprises which were established as part of the nation’s effort to address the intractable and persistent problem of poverty in America. The Education and Immigrant Resource Center helps immigrants strengthen their ability to pursue economic self-sufficiency, enabling them to increase their roles as community members, supports families who currently live at risk of deportation to poor, unstable countries, as well as families who live in fear of separation because all members do not have citizenship. The program also guides eligible immigrants through the Naturalization (U.S. Citizenship) process. We empower immigrants on their path to citizenship through personalized support, guidance and resources. We provide case management, legal consultations, referrals and more to help foreign-born individuals confidently navigate their journey to become an American citizen.
