INTERCAMBIOS PUERTO RICO INC

What they do

INTERCAMBIOS PUERTO RICO is A NON-PROFIT COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION THAT PROMOTES THE SOCIAL INTEGRATION of MARGINALIZED GROUPS, INCLUDING DRUG USERS, HOMELESS, and SEX WORKERS. WE WORK FROM A SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVE of HARM REDUCTION THROUGH SERVICE PROVISION, EDUCATION, ADVOCACY, and RESEARCH. WE ENVISION A PUERTO RICO WHERE MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS HAVE ACCESS to ALL OPPORTUNIIES for INDIVIDUAL and COLLECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE for THEM to ATTAIN A DECENT LIFE and CONTRIBUTE to SOCIETY. AMONG OUR MOST RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS HAS BEEN to CONTINUE WITH THE BUILD- OUT of OUR PROBLEMATIC DRUG USE OUTPATIENT CLINIC WHICH for FY25 HAS BEEN STAFFED BY CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS WHO OPERATE BOTH BRICK-AND-MORTAR LOCATION and IN A MOBILE CLINIC. PROGRAMMATICALLY THIS INCREASES THE QUALITY and AMOUNT of SERVICES OUR ORGANIZATION DIRECTLY PROVIDES. ADDITIONALLY, OUR PROGRAMS HAVE BECOME MORE ITEGRATED and HAVE MORE CAPACITY to ENGAGE MORE GEOGRAPHIC AREAS WITH MORE SERVICES.
