Coro
Fellows Program
The
Coro Fellows Program in Public Affairs is a full-time, nine month,
graduate-level experiential leadership training program that prepares
diverse, intelligent and committed individuals for effective and
ethical leadership in the public affairs arena. Unconventional
by traditional academic standards, the Fellows Program is rigorous
and demanding, an unparalleled opportunity for personal and professional
growth. The Fellows Program is offered in Los Angeles, New York,
Pittsburgh, San Francisco and St. Louis.
Coro introduces program
participants to all aspects of the public affairs arena, preparing
them to translate their ideals into action for improving their
own communities and beyond. Coro Fellows learn to see the big
picture - the community as a whole - and appreciate the varying
perspectives that characterize our cities, states, and nation.
Through field placements, group interviews, seminars, focus weeks,
individual and group projects, they develop:
* effective communication
skills
* strategies for consensus-building
* successful decision-making tactics
* vast personal and professional networks
Sixty-eight Fellows
are chosen nationally each year through a highly competitive selection
process, including a day-long assessment at each center’s
city. The Fellows represent a broad range of academic, work, cultural,
racial and economic backgrounds, ages and interests. What they
share is an unwavering commitment to civic engagement. Recent
participants have ranged from 21 to 53 years of age.
