The Coro New York Leadership Center was founded on the principle that an informed and engaged citizenry and broad public participation are critical to a vital democratic society. We are committed to equipping individuals of all ages and from all backgrounds with the knowledge and skills they need to play active leadership roles across the public, private and non-profit sectors. We teach Coro participants how policy decisions are made in New York, the avenues that exist for citizen participation, and the skills they need to effect change on behalf of the cause or community to which they are committed.

Founded in 1942, Coro's mission is to strengthen our democratic system of self-governance by training individuals who as citizens and leaders will act constructively and effectively to build up and improve their communities and societies as a whole.

Coro's training enhances participants' skills in the following areas: analysis and critical thinking; effective communication; inquiry; and ethical decision-making, among others. In its 68-year history, Coro has graduated thousands of leaders from its many programs. Coro graduates have become teachers, investment bankers, union leaders, corporate directors, activists, lawyers, journalists, and elected officials, among other professions. Coro graduates use the skills and commitment to integrity they developed to guide them throughout their life's journeys, and to strengthen our local and national democracy.
