We are seeking volunteers to build relationships with local community resources in the Washington DC area.
We're not here to reinvent the wheel. Washington DC is an amazing city with tons of community resources. We need a volunteer who can spend around 10 hours per week (or as much time as you're willing and able to devote!) to researching local community resources, building relationships with these organizations, and reporting back to the rest of the DMV team. These include local diaper banks, food pantries, employment training/placement centers, and more.

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.
