Multicultural Communications Program

Engagement and education

The program uses many avenues to reach non-English-speaking Oregon residents and workers, including community events hosted by local organizations, partnerships with consular offices, radio, television, newspaper advertisements and articles, and news releases. The program provides information about rights, responsibilities, and department services, verbally and through brochures, flyers, and other publications. The same information is shared with English-speaking Oregon residents through other events and community engagement. Some publications are also available in other languages, such as Russian and Vietnamese.

We believe that by educating vulnerable residents about their rights and responsibilities as workers, consumers, and Oregon residents, we help improve health and safety for workers and protect consumers from fraud. This, in turn, helps improve the economic climate for all Oregon residents and businesses.
