Coro Next Neighborhood Leaders is a part-time training and networking opportunity for people who seek to learn and collaborate with others to make positive change in their community. Next Neighborhood Leaders 2017-2018 is open to those who work, live, or want to contribute to positive change, in McKees Rocks and Stowe Township. Coro is looking for people who have an idea or project in mind that will advance positive change in one of these communities. Participants will develop their idea and move it towards implementation in collaboration with others.

The program has two parts:

Part I (November 9, 2017 -  May 19, 2018). Participants join a cohort and attend weekly training and learning sessions in which you: get to know others who are passionate about making positive change in your community, explore challenges and opportunities facing their community; receive mentoring and support while taking action to make progress on your projects, learn to build strong teams by leveraging people's strengths; hone skills in group facilitation and develop and execute a plan for your personal development as a leader.

Part II (June 14, 2018 - September 13, 2018). Participants continue to meet as a cohort to make progress on their projects. During this period Coro will provide fundraising support, and engagement of the broader Coro network.

Applicants should have a passion for making a difference in their community, a project or idea they will work on in the program, and a willingness to learn and grow from their Coro experience.
