“For those
leading commercial revitalization efforts in their communities-whether working
in a Business Improvement District, Merchant Association, local development
corporation, Chamber of Commerce or other nonprofit organization- Coro's
Neighborhood Leadership (NL) program provides the city's top talent with the
resources they need to understand how to influence meaningful change and
address complex challenges within their neighborhoods.” In Coro’s NL program participants “are given
the opportunity to build leadership skills through intensive training and
peer-to-peer learning. Participants leave the program equipped with the
knowledge and skills to drive change in their own neighborhoods, and an
unparalleled network of engaged civic leaders from which to continue to build
and grow.”
What are the benefits of the program?
The Coro NL program notes key benefits
to this program:
- THE NETWORK: NL connects participants to an accomplished community of Coro NL alumni, City leaders and the broader Coro community, who are dedicated to supporting one another.
- THE KNOWLEDGE: NL deeply immerses participants in building individual and collaborative capacity for practicing leadership and bringing about change in their communities.
- THE SKILLS: NL uses the City of New York as a lab to explore, test and build effective commercial revitalization strategies to adapt and thrive in challenging environments. In particular, participants hone the skills needed to get things done in a multi-stakeholder environment.

Neighborhood
Leadership meets January through June
and requires a significant time commitment of attendance including: A
three-day overnight Opening Retreat, Saturday Leadership Retreat days (4),
Bimonthly Networking Evening Events ("Coronect" evenings), Tuesday
Strategy Day Sessions (5), Closing Session & Graduation (1), and one
Follow-Up Session in October. Click here
to view the NL 2015 program calendar.
Who are the participants?
Approximately
20 successful nonprofit management professionals whose work is focused on
commercial revitalization are competitively selected to participate each year.
Selected participants reflect the demographics of New York City with at least
half serving low to moderate income neighborhoods. Those selected have interest in joining the
Coro community and NL alumni network.
What is the cost?
The kicker
is that there is no tuition due to the generous support of the program’s
partner and funders.
Applications for NL 2015 can be found here. The application deadline is Saturday, November 15th.
