Coro developed several after school series to help students broaden awareness, bridge divides, and discover unrealized potential. Each program provided leadership training to 25-35 high schoolers and consists of twelve sessions, both on school grounds and at off-site locations. In collaboration with school administrators, the programs offered a breadth of activities, excursions and exercises that are simultaneously educational, engaging, and fun.

• Provide positive developmental alternatives during the after school hours;
• Improve student achievement by cultivating new skills and building on existing youth assets, creating new and sustaining leadership roles for youth;
• Encourage social responsibility by delivering a substantive youth group project for each school and community; and
• Expose young people to a variety of perspectives, experiences, and viewpoints in order to promote cross cultural understanding and effective communication.

Past Programs have taken place at the following schools in Los Angeles:

• Santee Education Complex, 2006
• Jefferson High School, 2005
• Crenshaw High School, 2004
