Cultural Orientation is the pre-departure and post-arrival education provided to refugee newcomers to the U.S. to help them acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to adapt to their lives in the United States and become fully integrated into their communities. The Cultural Orientation Resource Exchange (CORE) provides high quality cultural orientation information, materials, and instruction to Resettlement Support Centers and Reception and Placement Agencies and their affiliates. We also support a community of practice for the geographically dispersed staff who teach cultural orientation across the United States and around the world.
