Fellow in Public Affairs

The Fellows Program in Public Affairs is a nine-month, post-graduate, experiential leadership training program.  Placements in partner organizations are the cornerstone of the Fellows Program in Public Affairs.  Fellows work in a series of individual field placements covering government, electoral campaigns, business, non-profit, labor, education and media.   Each placement lasts four weeks and allows Fellows to see how organizations reach their goals from varying vantage points.  The high level of access available to Fellows through their field placements ensures a remarkable behind-the-scenes view. Working on projects within each sector gives the Fellows a comprehensive understanding to the myriad complex sides in public policy making.  For information on hosting a Coro Fellow in Public Affairs, click here.
