The CORO Foundation

Address:

Organization Description: The Coro New York Leadership Center was founded twenty-five years ago with a singular goal – to train a new generation of dedicated and committed civic leaders who can instill confidence in our democratic institutions and advance innovative approaches to addressing New York City's complex challenges.  We teach Coro participants how public policy is shaped, the avenues that exist for citizen participation, and the skills they need to effect change. Coro New York today runs five civic leadership development programs: Exploring Leadership for NYC public high school students; the Fellows Program in Public Affairs for recent college graduates and young professionals; Leadership New York for mid-career professionals; the Immigrant Civic Leadership Program for immigrant community leaders; and Alumni Programming, providing Coro graduates with multiple avenues for further civic involvement. In total, Coro New York serves 200 participants and 1,800 alumni per year.

Internship Position

Internship Description: The Coro Fellows Program in Public Affairs is a nine-month, full-time, post-graduate leadership training program which introduces diverse young public servants to all aspects of the public affairs arena. Our program seeks individuals with leadership capabilities and a strong commitment to play a meaningful role in the governance of our society, offering the “leaders of the future” a unique opportunity to work closely with individuals and institutions that influence decision-making. The training combines experiential learning, face-to-face interaction with public, private, media, and non-profit decision makers, and development in analytical, group governance, and communication skills. The Fellows Program consists of six month-long, full-time consulting placements -- in government, labor, business, the non-profit sector, a political campaign, and an independent placement -- that provide a challenging opportunity to learn by experience.
