KAMA DC is a volunteer-run non-profit which creates a platform for immigrants in the greater Washington DC area to share their skills and stories. We host immigrant-run classes, storytelling nights, discussions, film screenings, and more.
We are looking for volunteers to join our promotion, classes, and storytelling teams. Depending on the team, responsibilities may include designing graphics for social media, finding teachers and storytellers, designing and organizing events, working with partner organizations, etc.
KAMA DC's core group is made up of 15-20 volunteers who meet once a week on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:30pm EST. The group is divided into three teams - classes, storytelling, and promotions. Since the pandemic, we have shifted these weekly meetings online to zoom.
KAMA DC particularly encourages refugees, immigrants, and BIPOC to apply. Volunteers must be based in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area and be at least 18 years old.

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.
