The Coro Fellows Program in Public Affairs (FPPA), a nine-month, full-time, graduate-level leadership training program, prepares young professionals for effective and ethical leadership in the public affairs arena.

The Fellows Program in New York is generously supported by The Moody’s Foundation.

Coro Fellows learn to:

  • Build consensus among multiple interests
  • Communicate with members of diverse communities and sectors
  • Analyze resources, constituencies, and goals
  • Understand the subtleties of group process and decision-making

The program runs from September through May and takes place in Los Angeles, New York, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and St. Louis. 68 diverse Coro Fellows are chosen who have demonstrated leadership within their school, professional, or local communities and have an interest in public affairs.
