Iraqi Children’s Hope (ICHope) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Virginia, USA. Our mission is to empower Iraqi orphaned children through education by removing barriers to learning and improving the diagnosis and treatment of disabilities such as autism and other developmental challenges. To support this mission, we also provide education and empowerment to widowed mothers, many of whom lack the resources or training to care for their families.

ICHope raises awareness and provides educational support for mental health and academic needs among children and youth, ensuring they receive accurate diagnoses and access to essential services for their success.

We are currently seeking passionate volunteers to help develop our impact both locally and internationally. Our immediate needs include:

· Social Media Support (2-5 hours/week) - Arabic-speaking preferred

· NGO Strategy Development (2-5 hours/week)

· Networking and Outreach (2-5 hours/week)

· Website Publishing and Editing (5 hours/week)

· Accounting Support (5 hours/week)

While we are unable to offer financial compensation, we are happy to provide letters of recommendation for volunteers upon request.

Join us in making a difference. Your time and talent can bring hope to thousands.
