It had a two-year hiatus but was revived in 2021 and has been housed in the Community Innovation and Action Center at the University of Missouri-St. Louis since then.
The eight fellows in this year's cohort have been working and learning in placements at the Mayor's Office, the Treasurer's Office and the Board of Aldermen President's Office in the City of St. Louis; the St. Louis Public Schools Foundation; the Missouri Charter Public School Association; BioSTL; the Cortex Innovation District; North County Inc.; and The SoulFisher Ministries, among others, since starting the program last September. They're due to contribute roughly 10,000 hours combined working on different high-impact projects throughout their nine months in the program.
"It's been very challenging for them, but ultimately, they're growing and they're doing some really impactful work around St. Louis," said Coro Fellows trainer Danijela Bule, herself a Coro alum who completed the program in 2022. "Beyond just a network of really dedicated alums and opportunities out in the world, I hope they leave with a deeper sense of self and knowing what they want in this life and who they want to be."
