Cultural Orientation Program Highlights

Cultural Orientation Program Highlights contain information about selected populations being served by a particular CO program. Each highlight describes the CO participants' background and environment in exile, the structure and content of the CO classes, the questions and concerns the participants raise in class, and considerations for domestic service providers as they seek to facilitate refugees' resettlement and adjustment. Highlights are also generally accompanied by a brief slideshow of the group addressed.

Choose a highlight from the list in the right-hand column of this page, and please let us know if you would like to share your agency's experience of resettling clients that received CO from a program highlighted.
