New COR Center resources in the Tools for Trainers area include Refugee Training and Orientation: A Guide for Service Providers, Cultural Orientation Training: An Introduction for Trainers video, and a workbook for trainers. These resources were designed for service providers working with refugees to enhance understanding, design, and delivery of training and orientation.

Choosing My Way is a video game where players consider how to respond to changing opportunities and challenges that arise after resettlement in the United States, while dealing with limited resources. Suitable for refugees and other newcomers with some English proficiency, the game is also designed for orientation providers to facilitate its use in small groups, encouraging discussion and reflection.
Read the new COR Center backgrounder, Refugees from Syria, as well as the backgrounder on Refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Learn more about these populations and others through videos, documents, photos, and other materials that address refugees' experiences, hopes and concerns, likely resettlement strengths and challenges, and so forth.
