Building Community through immigrant-led Cultural ExperienceS

KAMA DC provides a platform for immigrants to share their skills and stories.

Who we are

We are a team of volunteers from the Washington, D.C. community united by a passion to share skills and build community ties.
We first started discussing the idea of forming KAMA DC in June 2016 and held our very first class in December 2016.
KAMA DC is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
