Managing Expectations Resource Kit
Refugee applicants as well as sponsors have expectations. It is useful for sponsor group members to be aware of these and to prepare themselves to prevent these expectations from creating unnecessary problems after newcomers arrive. Sponsors will develop skills to mitigate the effects of unrealistic expectations or sense of entitlement when those expectations arise.
This resource is a curriculum that includes background information, activities, and links to video clips - everything needed for one or two team members to facilitate this training for Core Team members and for any volunteers who want to work with the newcomer family post-arrival.
