About us

PHOENIX Rising Transitions is a grassroots community-based organization that provides transitional support, including education, mentoring and community building with special concern for releasing convicts, ex-convicts and their families, crime victims and the community at large.

We are former prisoners, prisoners and community members working toward the transformation and success of people as they rejoin the community after prison.

We have worked in Oregon prisons, primarily at Columbia River Correctional Institution, for over 20 years. We have mentored people in the Portland metro area a few years longer than that.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in Oregon.
