Why This Event Matters

Community safety is strengthened when residents, service providers, public agencies, and community leaders have opportunities to learn from one another and build trust.

This event is designed to help community members better understand public safety systems, access useful resources, ask questions, and create stronger connections across Portland's diverse communities.

Everyone Is Welcome

Immigrant and refugee families, youth, community members, and all Portland residents are welcome to participate.

ORMMS is sharing this opportunity as a community resource and encourages families to attend, connect with local organizations, and take advantage of the educational and community resources available at the event.

Hosted by the City of Portland Office of Community & Civic Life, with community and public safety partners.
