Curriculum Development Assistance

We are seeking a skilled volunteer to assist with building a comprehensive integration curriculum for Creshendo’s programs supporting refugees. This curriculum will focus on key areas such as language learning, social-emotional support, and cultural integration to help refugees adapt to their new communities.

The specific tasks we’d like the volunteer to assist with include:
• Reviewing and refining the materials we’ve gathered from workshops with the refugee communities we serve.
• Structuring the curriculum into a cohesive and engaging format suitable for teaching.
• Incorporating evidence-based educational methodologies to maximize impact and retention.
• Creating an easy-to-use template or guide for our educators and facilitators to implement the curriculum effectively.

Creshendo’s mission is to empower displaced populations by equipping them with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to integrate into their new environments and achieve self-reliance. This integration curriculum is a critical piece of that mission.

The curriculum will provide refugees with language skills, cultural understanding, and social-emotional tools to navigate their new lives confidently. Once completed, it will be implemented in workshops and community programs, directly impacting the lives of Afghan, Syrian, and Palestinian refugee communities.

We are confident in our ability to implement the outcomes of this project because:
• Proven Success with Taproot: We’ve worked with several Taproot volunteers in the past, and their contributions have been transformative, allowing us to make significant strides in our work.
• Community-Driven Approach: The curriculum is already informed by direct input from the refugee communities we serve, ensuring it is tailored to their needs.
• Ready for Action: With the curriculum structure and materials in place, we are prepared to finalize the content and launch workshops as soon as this project is completed.

We look forward to collaborating with a skilled volunteer who shares our vision of creating a lasting impact in the lives of refugees!

We’ve taken several steps to prepare for this project, ensuring a smooth and productive collaboration:
• Workshops Conducted: We’ve already hosted community workshops to gather input directly from the refugees we serve about their needs and goals. This feedback has provided us with a wealth of raw material to incorporate into the curriculum.
• Templates and Resources: We’ve prepared templates and outlines to streamline the curriculum-building process. These resources will help the volunteer focus on refining the content rather than starting from scratch.
• Clear Objectives: We’ve outlined specific objectives for this curriculum, including fostering self-sufficiency, enhancing cultural and social integration, and improving language skills.
• Collaborative Environment: Our team is highly collaborative and ready to provide feedback, context, and ongoing support to ensure the volunteer’s success.
