COMMUNITY CONNECTION.

Perhaps the most essential service PRSG provides is connecting the newest members of our community to more established individuals – not only our own staff, but volunteers and members of other organizations.

  • "As the newest cultural center at IRCO, the Greater Middle East Center (GMEC) is inclusively serving communities from North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. In its quest for better serving its communities, GMEC started building partnerships with different organizations serving the same communities. One of the most fruitful and sustainable partnerships for GMEC has been with PRSG. Whether be it through the invaluable insights of PRSG's Executive Director who serves as one of GMEC's Advisory Council members, or through the support of PRSG's multilingual volunteers in GMEC's activities, this partnership has had a great positive impact on GMEC's work.”

  • "I love the work that PRSG is doing for the local refugee community. They are constantly doing events like potlucks to bring everyone together and bring some normalcy to what can be hectic lives. I have also had the privilege of helping out at several food drives where PRSG sourced hundreds of ponds of meat donated from local stores. PRSG is making a massive impact in the community around them, not only to help them in the present, but to also help them on their way to self sufficiency so that they don’t need to rely on the system their whole lives."

  • "I have seen how hard the volunteers and board work first hand. I've been with them since the start when they were only a handful of organizers and volunteers. They grew a lot and were able to take on a lot more responsibilities in helping the refugees assimilate and get settled down into a new country. They are awesome and I 100% recommend them!"
