The Coro Fellows Program in Public Affairs (www.coro.org) prepares diverse, talented and committed individuals for effective and ethical leadership in the public arena. The Princeton Review has ranked it among the top ten internship programs in the country.

The Fellows Program is nine months long, full-time, and experience-based. Sixty-eight Fellows participate annually, distributed among Coro’s five regional centers.

• Fellows gain a unique understanding of public issues and establish useful networks through rotations in business, government, and non-profit institutions, plus focus weeks and interviews with leaders throughout the community.

• They build problem-solving and decision-making skills by completing numerous service projects during the year.

• Together in seminars, they refine leadership, communication, and consensus-building skills, and create shared opportunities for transformative personal and professional growth.

Coro graduates function effectively in diverse communities and create solutions to problems that cross traditional boundaries. They go on to significant careers in the private, public and non-profit sectors.

They have served in numerous Presidential administrations and as members of Congress; they work in corporate settings, state and local governments, media and academia; they have founded and work for grassroots and national nonprofit groups; and they have joined international non-governmental organizations.

Coro seeks individuals with demonstrated leadership potential and a genuine commitment to public service. Participation requires at minimum a bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience.

The application deadline is Friday, January 14, 2011.
