CORO For YouthDescription
The CORO Exploring Leadership Program is a transformative youth program that trains high school students to become active and concerned citizens and assume leadership roles in their schools, communities, and families. Launched in the summer of 1998, CORO Exploring Leadership engages up to thirty-six rising 10th, 11th and 12th graders, eighteen in San Francisco and eighteen in the East Bay, who reflect the full range of diversity of Bay Area youth from their extracurricular activities, to their leadership experience, to their races, and their socioeconomic backgrounds. Through a set of CORO modules, the program increases Youth Fellows’ abilities in critical thinking, goal setting, and ultimately giving them the skills to become effective facilitators and collaborators for community change.
