Domestic CO Programs

Numerous agencies around the country have provided descriptions of their CO content and delivery, so that others may consider various ways to structure and provide CO in their own content. In addition, SEARAC and the COR Center collaborated to produce a webinar to discuss identifying community orientation needs, providing orientation, and future directions and strategies.

Examples

Webinar - Community-Based Organizations in Orientation: This webinar, a collaboration between the Cultural Orientation Resource Center and Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC), features presenters from different ethnic and community groups that assist refugees with orientation and adjusting to life in the United States.
