No One Left Behind is a veteran run nonprofit helping the men and women who worked for the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan. We need volunteers to visit new families to conduct intake and make a resettlement plan.
Combat interpreters who worked for the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan arrive in the United States without friends or family, and few resources to restart their lives. Most interpreters arrive in the US penniless with little more than the clothes on their backs. Our intake coordinator spends their time visiting new families, advising on how to be successful in the US, and collaborating with the rest of our team of volunteers on the best plan of action.

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.
