The Cultural Orientation toolkit for community partners and sponsors teaches the receiving community to incorporate key CO messages while providing direct resettlement services to newcomers during their first 90 days. The toolkit provides guidance on how to incorporate CO messages into 25 early resettlement services. Integrating this toolkit into your services will reinforce key CO messages initially shared by resettlement staff. This training is for community members, CO providers, and local sponsorship program coordinators. After this training, participants will be able to explain what Cultural Orientation (CO) is and who CORE is, understand how to integrate key CO messages into their services using the CO toolkit, and learn strategies on how to coordinate CO delivery amongst sponsor groups.
