No One Left Behind is seeking a leader to recruit and coordinate volunteers in the Rochester area. We are seeking someone who is passionate about people and helping combat interpreters who fled Iraq and Afghanistan after fleeing their homes due to being threatened for their service with the US military.
No One Left Behind operates volunteer run chapters in 9 cities across the US. We need someone on the ground in Rochester to coordinate local volunteers, especially finding family mentors, pairing them with families, and supporting the family mentor teams locally.

About No One Left Behind
Location:
P.O. Box 3641, Merrifield, VA 22116, US
Mission Statement
No One Left Behind helps Afghan and Iraqi translators gain their U.S. Special Immigration Visas and ensures that they are properly resettled in America. When our Afghan and Iraqi allies resettle in the US, they usually come with nothing more than the clothes on their back and whatever they can fit into one suitcase. We feel that given their profound service to our nation's military while at war, these interpreters deserve better than years of waiting on seldom delivered visas and almost no support in resettling in America.
Description
We help with immigration services to interpreters and translators who are being denied visas due to the bureaucratic red tape. We provide furnished apartments, modest financial support to help cover the weeks it can take before their social service benefits (food, medical, etc.) begin, and employment placement assistance. We also pair up newly arrived refugees with other Iraqis and Afghans who have successfully immigrated to the US -- to help smooth the transition.
