For immigrants:
TEACH A CLASS
We are always looking for more instructors! If you are an immigrant and would like to share a skill or passion with the DC community, we can make it happen. From cooking to art to skills-based workshops, no matter what you want to teach, we will make it happen
When you volunteer to teach with us, you will:
KAMA DC's all-volunteer team will work with you to develop and plan a class on the topic you choose. We will provide the venue, class materials, and spread the word to potential students. No teaching experience is necessary– only a desire to connect with your community and share your skills, knowledge, or passion.
Email us at classes@kamadc.org and we will arrange a meeting (usually a coffee) with one of our volunteers to start brainstorming ideas.
PARTICIPATE IN A STORYTELLING NIGHT
We host immigrant storytelling nights every other month. We usually choose a theme (e.g. relationships, celebrations, adaptation) and ask participants to share a 5-7 minute story on that theme. Our volunteers will work with you to find out what you'd like to talk about, what you want the audience to take away, and then practice your story.

TAKE OVER THE IMMIGRANTS OF THE DMV INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT
We are always looking for people to take over the @ImmigrantsoftheDMV instagram account to share their stories. A different participant takes over the account each Sunday and can share whatever they would like on the account. People often choose to share their story of immigrating to the United States, how they came to settle in Washington DC, challenges they overcame, their successes, or just posting their favorite spots in the DMV area or how they like spending their Sundays. To register to take over the account, fill out this form. If you have any questions, email us at idmv@kamadc.org.
