The Coro™ Fellows Program in Public Affairs and Coro™ Women In Leadership program, both programs of FOCUS St. Louis, operate with the belief that the vibrancy of our community is best served by a high level of participation from citizens in every sector of the community. Coro™ Fellows Program in Public Affairs Since 1972, this intense, nine-month, full-time professional development program has combined exposure to nonprofit, government, business, labor, and electoral politics with rigorous, hands-on training. It is an experiential learning program that provides training in critical thinking, communication, and project management. Coro™ Women In Leadership Since 1981, this five-month, part-time training program has given women the opportunity to refine their leadership competencies, learn about the community, and connect with other women from diverse backgrounds who care about community issues.
