Program Summary
As part of Multnomah County's Youth Gang Prevention Services, IRCO's Asian Family Center runs the culturally specific Asian Pacific Islander component of the County gang prevention program. The focus of the program is to improve resiliency, pro-social, employment and educational skills, to increase student retention and provide advocacy and education around the needs of youth at risk of gang involvement.
IRCO's bilingual/bicultural case managers work with young people and their families to provide mentoring and sustained social, academic and behavioral support to reduce at risk factors. Case managers also provide employment skills training for out of school youth in the form of life skills training and employment services such as job shadowing and job placement.
