CORO CENTER FOR CIVIC LEADERSHIP

In today’s rapidly changing world, the challenges we face are increasingly complex. Coro believes we need more people in our society who can work collaboratively and lead across differences. While our current climate and technology allow us to remain easily isolated in echo chambers that reflect our opinions and perspectives, the challenges we face in our neighborhoods, organizations, and communities cannot be solved in isolation. Leaders must be able to work with partners across sectors, diverse viewpoints, and leadership styles in order to create lasting solutions.

Coro’s mission is to equip people with the skills, knowledge, and networks to collaborate and accelerate positive change wherever they are. Working in partnership with businesses, government, and nonprofit organizations, Coro is uniquely positioned to forge connection and collaboration as a non-partisan non-profit with more than 20 years of providing leadership development experiences for everyone from high school students to senior executives. We seek an experienced trainer and facilitator to join our team.
