Coro is a non-profit, non-partisan educational institute that trains ethical, diverse civic leaders nationwide. Coro leaders develop skills; master tools needed to engage and empower communities; gain experience in government, business, labor and not-for-profit community organizations; and participate in special community and political problem solving processes. 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.
Youth Venture currently partners with the Coro Center in San Francisco as part of their Exploring Leadership program. Each year, 36 high school students are selected for an intensive summer program which continues through the fall, and which is capped by the opportunity for the youth to create and launch their own ventures.
