No One Left Behind is seeking an Interfaith Programs Liaison for the Pittsburgh area.
Combat interpreters arrive in the US typically with only a single carry on size suitcase. Often, interpreters arrive penniless with little more than the clothes on their backs. We are seeking a part time volunteer for our Pittsburgh chapter to take the lead on building relationships with local religious institutions and developing interfaith programs to support the integration of interpreters in the local area. This volunteer will work in partnership with the local Chapter President and the local Development and Events Coordinator.

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.
