Download PDFResettlement agency networks are increasingly seeing the value in such groups with all ten national resettlement agencies facilitating groups of a similar nature. Networks have identified CoPs are “especially helpful to uncover the similarities in experiences, share ideas for addressing key challenges, to provide space to share resources, and perhaps most importantly, to not feel alone.” This guide is a result of cross-discipline research on CoPs and application of lessons learned in network-wide CoP facilitation. The guide aims to empower national resettlement agency staff overseeing local affiliate community sponsorship staff.
