Catholic Charities of Houston, Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, has conducted group application workshops for a variety of immigration benefits, including naturalization, DACA, asylum, and Temporary Protected Status. For many years these workshops were in-person events where applicants, volunteers, and Catholic Charities staff would come together to help immigrants complete applications to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or USCIS.

At the onset of the pandemic, Catholic Charities began serving clients virtually and designing and testing virtual workshop models. As community health conditions began to improve and some community members felt comfortable attending in-person events, Catholic Charities began designing and conducting hybrid workshops, which combined in-person and virtual participation among all participant groups. Below are a series of diagrams for Catholic Charities In-Person, Virtual, and Hybrid models, as used for citizenship workshops. The descriptions provide detail on how each workshop functions and how the models differ.
