Terms of Use
Coro was founded in 1942 in San Francisco by W. Donald Fletcher, an attorney, and Van Duyn Dodge, an investment counselor, to train young veterans in the leadership skills necessary to assure that our democratic system of government could more effectively meet the needs of its citizens.
Since 1947, the program has grown to include Centers and/or Program/licensees locations, and a new Executive Fellows program in Cleveland, funded in partnership with The Cleveland Foundation (2005).
This site is designed for individuals who care about public leadership and strengthening civic engagement; alumni, donors, champions and friends of Coro; Coro stakeholders, staff, board members, advisors and volunteers; potential program participants; current participants and community supporters of Coro programs and anyone wanting to find out more about Coro.
1000-1200 participants a year go through Coro programs nationwide. At least 10,000 program alumni are currently serving as leaders in local, regional and national/global businesses, non-profit organizations, governmental agencies and elected public office.
The Centers, Program, licensee and an alumni service organization, CNAA, are connected, supported and leveraged as a system by Coro National, a 501(c) 3 governing body that serves as the national voice and partner for the regional centers and alumni participants, and works to build capacity for the system and enhance program quality standards and innovation.
Coro is a non-profit, non-partisan educational institute supported by foundations, corporations and individuals.
