Cultural Orientation Resource Center

The Cultural Orientation Resource (COR) Center at the Center for Applied Linguistics provides technical assistance and resources for refugee orientation to various stakeholders, including refugees, refugee-serving agencies, mainstream service providers, and local communities. Funded by the Department of State/Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) and the Department of Health and Human Services/Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), the COR Center conducts research, develops resources, and provides technical assistance on refugee training, resettlement, and orientation needs. Additionally, the COR Center works to develop a globally linked network to exchange refugee orientation information, concerns, and best practices.
