In recent months at Coro, we've been inspired by the number of people contacting us with a renewed desire for civic engagement, especially on the local level. Through the Leading Locally Initiative, we're mobilizing to host a series of Southern California civic engagement events to help people of all ages and backgrounds connect the dots between interest and involvement.
Coro Southern California is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization focused on cultivating the next generation of diverse leaders through hands-on, collaborative, cross-sectoral learning. With substantive programs for youth, recent college graduates, and professionals, we cultivate emergent leaders at all stages of their lives and careers. Graduates come away from Coro with a deeper understanding of how the region works, the leadership skills to contribute to its success, and a network of engaged and influential alumni to help them reach their goals. Coro is a collaborative community with a shared belief that a single person, with the right knowledge, skills, and network, is what will make Southern California a better place for all who live and work here.
This special event is cosponsored by the Office of Glendale City Clerk, Ardy Kassakhian and Coro Southern California.
