*Alumni 1 A letter from our CEO

Pittsburgh is in the midst of a remarkable transformation. Our economy has endured a major recession only to come out stronger. Entrepreneurship is on the rise, wages are growing, and younger people are moving back to our city to take advantage of some of America’s most affordable and safe urban neighborhoods in which to live, work and play. However, not all of us are benefiting from these positive trends. Some communities are disadvantaged by fragmented systems of government, education, transportation, housing, and public safety.

In order to thrive in a rapidly changing world, communities need to nurture leadership and foster networks of civic engagement and trust. Where leadership and networks are strong, people can tap the resources they need to take ownership of their future. The Coro Center for Civic Leadership is Pittsburgh’s premier training and networking program for leaders who are committed to building more inclusive communities. Founded in 1999, and now with 1500 alumni, Coro and our partner, Public Allies, provide a distinctive opportunity for diverse, civic-minded people to develop the skills, knowledge and networks to create unique solutions in partnership with others. We view civic leadership not only as a technical process of matching well-defined problems with the expertise required to solve them; it is also a social process of inspiring a collective purpose, meeting people where they are, and holding steady when conflict occurs.

Every Coro participant joins a cohort and learns 24 research-based leadership competencies (see page 16) through a minimum of 95 hours of training. The competencies are at the heart of a new kind of leadership that recognizes we cannot rely on a few individuals in key positions of authority to map the way forward in our communities. Instead, we need action from countless people in all walks of life and at all levels and organizations. We need leadership that is purposeful and inclusive of a wide range of voices, values and perspectives.

In August 2015 the Coro Board of Directors launched a new five-year strategic plan. We are determined to continue with our historical mission of preparing leaders, but with a more deliberate view of engaging people who seek to be effective agents of change in their communities. Our vision is a growing cadre of leaders who are driving change in our communities. This report provides a snapshot of our impact at the end of the first year of our plan.

Greg Crowley, CEO August 5th, 2016

Our Mission is to advance ethical leaders and build leadership capacity in order to create a more connected and inclusive community. Our Vision is an inclusive community where people of all backgrounds and circumstances participate in making their communities more livable for everyone.

8 Building Neighborhood Leadership Capacity McKees Rocks and Stowe Township (Sto-Rox)

Since August 2014, Coro Fellows contributed 2,400 hours towards projects that support empowerment and educational achievement of youth.

Ryann Tanap, Flavia Bleahu, and Cameron Hunter have engaged 20 youth-serving organizations to form a Youth Partnership with the goal of creating a seam- less web of support so that all kids can graduate from high school prepared for life. Key initiatives of the partnership include expansion of after school programs serving local youth and transportation options so that kids can access youth services.

Twelve Fellows have also contributed 800 hours interviewing local residents and experts in Harrisburg and Washington DC to inform community leaders on best practices to increase community engagement in the future of Sto-Rox.

In order to build on these accomplishments, Coro staff are currently reaching out into the community to engage a cohort of Next Neighborhood Leaders who will learn and work together to incubate projects that improve the quality of life in the community. Next Leaders will begin in October 2016. COMMUNITIES
