“Portland Refugee Support Group has several initiatives which include: Community Aid - As clients increase their social capital and status, they often need assistance in their journey. PRSG provides emergency financial funds to families to assure they stay on a positive path. Additionally, PRSG provides money making opportunities for clients and monthly goods donation bags to any families who need supplies. Community Classroom - PRSG pairs a community member who works with a client on a weekly basis on either functional English, or class work. These relationships are often the first place the client learns English, and one of the first steps in successful integration. Community Connections - PRSG trains and pairs one community member with one client family. These one-on-one relationships are used to provide refugee clients a safe place for any questions, assistance acclimating to everyday life, and a trust-driven friendship in the city. Community Wellness - PRSG hosts monthly group counseling sessions for both adults and children, as well as an annual youth empowerment camp and a skill building day camp. The goal of this program is to address the social wellbeing of clients in their new environment, as well as help them build the friendships and social capital they will need through their integration.”
