View Award Description

National Refugee Leadership and Lived Experience Council (NRLLEC) Program - The grant recipient administers the multiple councils under the National Refugee Leadership and Lived Experience Council Grant through a Cooperative Agreement with the Office of Refugee Resettlement. The program establishes national-level councils consisting of ORR-eligible populations who have resettled into communities throughout the U.S. This grant focuses on impacting refugee communities on a national scale through the creation of councils with participants who can promote American values with their peers, family members, and broader refugee communities, and help other new arrivals navigate assimilation challenges through community engagement. This top-down or “train the trainer” approach helps ensure broad-scope outreach and successful resettlement to reach as many new arrivals as possible. This grant equips members to become leaders through the delivery of monthly training and mentorships that provide knowledge, skills, and connections. Direct engagement with these groups enhances ORR’s ability to gather information about youth assimilation experiences from those who directly receive ORR-funded services. This information allows ORR visibility into the effectiveness of its federal programming as well as opportunities to enhance or improve ORR’s impact on clients within their communities.
