“Coro really is more fun than it looks on paper.”

- Ifeanyi Ezeh, St. Joseph Notre Dame   

“The reason why Coro, at its most difficult moments, is still an awesome experience is because you meet the most incredible people.  People you know are going to change the world one community at a time--and you stick with it so you can witness it happen.”

- Ana Garcia, Mandela High School

"From Coro, I learned not to hesitate if I want to learn more but I need to put forth the effort to get the information until I am satisfied.”

- Alan Tran, Skyline High School

“Coro changed me for the rest of my life. I loved it! I can say that I'm not the same person I was before Coro” 

- Martha Carvajal, Balboa High School

“I now know that I can do ANYTHING. This program has opened my eyes to so many things that I would never have seen without it.”

- Mia Henderson-Bonilla, Holy Names High School

“Through the program, I have learned a lot about working with a larger group of people and how to make decisions while keeping them in mind. I have also learned how to lead meetings and facilitate them.” 

- Caitlin Furney, Lowell High School

“I now see myself as more of a do-anything leader, which is what I wanted. I'm not ALWAYS the quiet one anymore, I can see what I need to do to get things done and I can usually do them in a more efficient manner.” 

- Amanda Martin, Mercy High School

“I thought that a leader was the person to take charge first, and even though I still take initiative, I have learned how to foster those qualities in others by stepping back.”

- Giana Cirolia, Berkeley High School

“After my participation in the program, I feel empowered to change my community because I have the necessary skills, tools, resources, and initiative to do so.  Although I still have a lot to learn as a leader, I feel more confident, especially in my presentation and public speaking skills.”

- Terence Li, Mission High School

 “I have come to realize that leadership is not only about being a role-model and knowing how to effectively execute tasks and projects. Another hefty portion of leadership is about working with a group and motivating others to reach their own potential.”

- Nick Dietz, Stuart Hall High School
