Portland Refugee Support Group

Who we are

The Portland Refugee Support Group (PRSG) is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. Since being founded in 2016, PRSG has grown by leaps and bounds. Our amazing team of volunteers helps over 200 refugee families of 15 different ethnicities throughout the Portland area & Salem, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington.  We offer support services to refugees who come through resettlement agencies like Catholic Charities.
PRSG is dedicated to working with refugees by empowering them to become independent and effective members of society through education, psycho-social support, and life skills training. We at PRSG understand the difficulties refugees face trying to acclimate to a new life. We believe that with the right support, refugees will adjust faster and be able to survive on their own in their new homes.
Our Mission and How You Can Get Involved

We’re motivated to help refugees thrive!
