KAMA DC is a grassroots, volunteer-run non-profit which aims to build community through immigrant-led cultural experiences. We provide a platform for immigrants to share their skills and stories with the DC community through classes, storytelling nights, film screenings, and more.
We are planning to launch a podcast which will feature interviews with immigrants from the DC community and are looking for a new volunteer to help us make it.
Our ideal volunteer would have:
-- Previous experience working on a podcast -- An understanding of Adobe Audition, or other audio editing software (please let us know what you're used to using!) -- Experience interviewing people about their personal journeys -- Skilled in narrative writing -- Natural empathy and curiosity. Some of the interviewees have harrowing stories to tell. Patience and kindness are really important for this work.

Mission Statement
KAMA DC aims to build community through immigrant-led cultural experiences.
Description
KAMA DC is a grassroots organization in Washington DC which provides a platform for immigrants in the DMV area to share their skills and stories.
KAMA DC is run entirely by volunteers who are passionate about building ties, facilitating cultural exchanges, and starting conversations. We highlight the skills and stories that immigrants bring to our community by hosting skills based workshops, cooking classes, storytelling nights, film screenings, and more.
KAMA DC volunteers began to meet in 2016 and we held our first class in December 2016. We gained official 501(c) non-profit status in 2018.
The idea is simple: by allowing people to learn from each other, KAMA DC builds constructive contact between groups who rarely interact. We facilitate dialogue, mutual understanding, and empower instructors and course participants to build positive community relationships.
