Alumni Testimonial

"There are skills and knowledge that I gained at Coro that I use every day in my role as co-director, especially as our organization faces the challenges of the current economy. I have also sent other members of my staff to Coro because the best asset of young organizations like ours, resides in the strength and the leadership of those who run them."

Through Coro’s unique training approach, ICLP participants gain a deeper understanding of policy and decision making in the city, the skills to effectively lead change in their organizations and communities, and a network of engaged and influential alumni to support them in reaching their goals.   All participants identify a Community Change Project that seeks to strengthen their immigrant community so that the impact from their participation goes beyond the training room.
