Welcome to Making Your Way: A Reception and Placement (R&P) Orientation Curriculum. This
publication is designed to equip refugee service providers with an effective and efficient approach
to orientation, based on the R&P Orientation Objectives and Indicators. It presents basic information
about orientation and includes techniques and materials that can be used by all who provide
orientation.
The goal of this publication is to create a culturally and educationally appropriate model for
orientation that can be used and adapted in programs for refugees during the R&P period, a
refugee’s first 30 to 90 days in the United States. It is our hope that service providers will use the
information and tools in this publication to develop a practical, hands-on approach that meets
local orientation needs.
