Coro New York Leadership Center

Coro is New York City's premier leadership training program and a community of 3,500 alumni across business, government, schools and non-profits that is shaping the city's future. For nearly 40 years Coro has used the city as its classroom – teaching students and executives, activists and entrepreneurs how New York City works so that they can make it better.

Coro runs several leadership training programs, each serving a different constituency at different points on their educational and career paths.

The Fellows Program in Public Affairs immerses young professionals in public affairs through intensive training and full-time consulting placements with government, labor, business and non-profit sectors.

The ​Immigrant Civic Leadership Program strengthens immigrant communities by enhancing the capacity of its leaders to strategically influence policy decision-making and to build and sustain their organizational and personal visions for change. It is in partnership with the New York Immigration Coalition.

Leadership New York ​challenges mid-career professionals from across non-profit, public and private sectors to explore critical issues facing New York City and develop new ways to lead change in their communities and organizations.

Neighborhood Leadership is a partnership with the New York City Department of Small Business Services and it provides individuals working to strengthen New York City’s commercial corridors with the tools, experiences, and networks they need to develop new ways to lead change in their organizations and communities.

Participatory Budgeting Youth Fellowship ​is in partnership with the New York City Council and Participatory Budgeting Project (PBP). The Participatory Budgeting Youth Fellowship (PBYF) builds the leadership skills of young New Yorkers and offers high school students intensive training, hands-on experience, and ongoing support to promote greater youth involvement in Participatory Budgeting (PB) in their communities and citywide.

Workforce Systems Leadership Program will prepare senior leaders to use their skills, expertise, and networks to respond to the changing workforce development landscape, drive innovative practices and improve service delivery for low-income NYC residents seeking employment and career advancement opportunities.
