The Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO) welcomes, serves, and empowers refugees, immigrants and people across cultures and generations to reach their full potential. We strive in our programming, outreach and education to foster understanding, compassion and communication between Oregon's established communities and newest arrivals.&nbsp;

Oregon has one of the fastest growing refugee and immigrant populations in the country. Forced to leave their home countries for fear of persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, refugees and immigrants come to Portland to begin new lives. IRCO focuses on removing barriers to self-sufficiency and helping individuals and families thrive, by providing more than 200 culturally and linguistically specific social services, from employment, vocational training and English language learning to community development, early childhood and parenting education, youth academic support and gang prevention.&nbsp;
