Founded by Celebrity Photographer Jeremy Cowart, Help-Portrait is a community of photographers coming together across the world to use their photography skills to give back to their local community.

In December, photographers around the world grab their cameras, find people in need and take their picture. When the prints are ready, the photographs get delivered.

Shangri-La was the featured recipient of the Help Portrait event hosted by the Salem Digital Photography Group.

Shangri-La sends many thanks to the Salem Digital Photography Group, the folks at PhotoVision, and all of the volunteers who helped make the event a success.

Between giving tours and talking about ERN's curriculum opportunities during the open house, the ERN team was able to gather for a group picture.

Shangri-La’s Employment Resources Northwest program (ERN), hosted an open house this week at building 53 on Chemeketa Community College’s campus. The goal of the open house was to share recent changes to the ERN training program with established and potential community partners and clients.

“Our hope was for individuals to leave with a clear idea of what ERN training looks like,” said Eileen Wolfe, ERN Associate Director.

Throughout the open house, each trainer shared some of the visuals and curriculum they use each week during their trainings. Visitors included Department of Human Services (DHS) staff and other community partners. The flow of visitors was consistent throughout the day, with excellent response from all.

“Many individuals who participated in the tours left saying ‘I want to participate in that program,’” said Wolfe.
