Designed for resettlement agency staff and others who provide orientation to refugees in the United States, this section features lesson plans and promising practices on various CO topics as well as program development resources.

The resources were developed by domestic refugee service providers and/or the COR Center, generally with funding from the U.S. Department of State/Bureau of Refugees, Population, and Migration or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Refugee Resettlement.

With their permission, many of the documents are posted in their original format, enabling others to modify them to suit their own programs' needs. If you modify materials posted here, please note their original source.
