The Coro Fellows program is an intensive nine-month, full-time, graduate-level program. Unconventional by traditional academic standards, the program is rigorous and demanding, and is an unparalleled opportunity for personal and professional growth. Each year, after a rigorous national selection process, sixty-four Coro Fellows are chosen from across the country to serve as Coro Fellows at one of the following Coro Centers: Los Angeles, New York, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and St. Louis.

Field assignments are at the heart of the Fellows Program and provide the most challenging opportunity to truly learn by doing. Each Fellow works in a series of assignments with a government agency, business, political campaign, labor union, media organization and non-profit group. One-third of the nine-month program is devoted to public service projects. Focus weeks allow the Fellows to sharpen their knowledge in a particular issue area or sector by learning from individuals with very different and often conflicting viewpoints. Fellows also meet on Tuesday evening and all day Friday for seminars throughout the program.

As a Coro graduate, you will be able to analyze the resources, needs and goals of different institutions and organizations, communicate effectively with members of diverse communities, build consensus among individuals with differing viewpoints and agendas, understand the dynamics of working with groups and individuals, design, undertake and evaluate projects, promote effective decision-making, and build and maintain a career network.
