Resources: Oregon

PARC corresponds with and mails a directory of these resources to prisoners, their friends and family members. We are often the first point of contact for people to connect with prisoners' rights organizations, community organizations, prison literature and arts projects, family and visiting resources, health care and legal resources, parole and pre-release resources, and the prison abolition movement.

The Pathfinder Network

The Pathfinder Network’s mission is to provide justice system-impacted individuals and families the tools and support they need to be safe and thrive in our communities. We achieve this mission through holistic direct services in three counties and 9 correctional
facilities across the state of Oregon. We meet our participants right where they are, at every point of the criminal justice system and beyond. The Pathfinder Network has partnered with the Oregon Department of Corrections since 1993 to provide evidence-based,
leading-edge programming focused on rehabilitation and recidivism reduction.
At our Portland Center for Family Success, we provide community-based services including parenting classes, early childhood home visiting, enhanced visiting, parent advocacy, youth mentoring, reentry support, peer mentoring, school support clubs, and family
engagement. We also provide services to systems-impacted youth in Clackamas County.
At our three Resilience & Recovery Project locations across the state, we provide wraparound peer support and service navigation, including drop-in and mobile support, classes, groups, action planning, basic needs assistance, and parenting-specific peer support.
We provide our participants the opportunity to build individual, social, and community resources for long-term resilience and recovery.
