Program Overview
Visit their website
The Coro Fellows Program in Public Affairs is a nine-month, full-time
graduate-level fellowship program that introduces participants to all
aspects of public affairs. The Program combines experiential learning, close
interaction with key decision-makers in the civic community, and development
in analytical, group governance, and communication skills. The Fellows
Program is founded on Coro's unique curriculum of core leadership skills,
paired with real-world experiences that rely on the community as the
classroom. Unconventional by traditional academic standards, the Coro
Fellows Program in Public Affairs is rigorous and demanding.
Cited by Princeton Review as one of the top ten fellowships in the country,
the Fellows Program familiarizes diverse young individuals to all facets of
the public affairs arena through field assignments, weekly seminars, group
and individual projects, and focus weeks. At the heart of the fellowship are
seven month long placements in the government, business, labor, non profit,
and political sectors. Each placement involves an assignment that gives the
Fellow both practical hands on experience and insight into the sector.
Throughout these rotations, Fellows engage in seminars, interviews, and
focus weeks to continue their learning and further shape their leadership
development in public affairs. Coro Fellows are provided with a monthly
stipend based on financial need.
