need du help- accessing government services thru the web.

[mopinko]

i am going to cross post this in the illinois forum, but i was hoping some folks here could also help with this.
DH and i do some parent education stuff for our kids grade school. one of the things we do is have the computer teacher open the lab to parents for something called 'learn to google nights'.
our next session, we would like to focus on accessing government services through the web. the teacher has asked my to try to compile some websites that she should take them to.
we have a high immigrant population, so international/immigration services would be helpful. i think i can get some good info on local government, but i do know that there are lots of chicagoans around here, so maybe i could get a little help with that, too. spanish is our largest language population, but there are 32 languages spoke by our families.
yes, i know i could google. but i was hoping to get folks experience trying to actually use these services.
so, can you help?
