Bringing Together Community Organizations and Social Science Research - The "Mentoring of Refugees" Project

Abstract

"The Project "Mentoring of Refugees" (MORE) implements a randomized controlled trial (RCT) into an existing survey on refugees in Germany. The treatment is the participation in a mentoring relationship with a local resident, which is organized by a non-profit organization. The project aims at analyzing whether mentoring programs between refugees and local residents impact refugees' integration trajectories. This paper explains the implementation of the RCT, addresses challenges during the implementation and field phase, and provides recommendations for future research projects."
