WE ARE

MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT

PRSG is a secular, volunteer-run, 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization.
Since being founded in 2016, PRSG has grown by leaps and bounds. Our amazing team of volunteers helps over 250 refugees of 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.
Our goal at PRSG is to empower refugees through education, life skills training, and social support. We focus on helping refugee families acclimate to life in America and get to know their community.
