OR, Immigrant/Refugee, Filipino
Location
Portland, OR
We unite Filipinos in Oregon to build community through programming that addresses and advocates for the needs of marginalized Filipinos living in Oregon - including Filipino workers, new migrants, immigrants, youth, elders, women, LGBTQ+, people of faith, and many more of our kababayan.

We serve our community by providing resources, education, and information that will empower Filipinos to make healthy, informed choices, and support one another.

We believe that those most impacted by socio-economic injustices should lead in the development of long-term solutions. Using a community organizing framework, we will elevate community stories toward needs-based programs, campaigns, and advocacy. Our center’s aim is to connect community members to essential resources, while building capacity to engage with the issues we face as a community towards change.

The work of the Center aims to create a space where Filipinos can find a home amongst each other and create opportunities to connect with, and to advocate for, our motherland and fellow kababayan.
