Coro Community Problem-Solving Fellowship (Pittsburgh)

The Community Problem Solving (CPS) Fellowship is a ten-week, full-time development program for African American college students with ties to the greater Pittsburgh region. The program enhances the participants’ leadership skills and helps them build professional and civic networks. The Community Problem Solving Fellowship has three outcomes:

  1. More African American college graduates will be living in greater Pittsburgh.
  2. CPS graduates will be significantly better prepared to succeed and become leaders in their workplace.
  3. More African Americans will hold high-skilled jobs in greater Pittsburgh, increasing local workplace diversity.

To achieve these goals, Fellows complete an eight week placement/internship, leadership and management skills training, focus weeks on specific topics, and community service. Fellows are also matched with professional mentors during the program.
