Emerging Leaders Civic Action Project Proposal Submission Form

Emerging Leaders Civic Action Projects

Civic Action Projects (CAP) are a key element of our Emerging Leaders curriculum, providing participants with the opportunity to work directly with community partners to address challenges facing our region and apply the leadership skills they’re developing in the program.

Eligibility

Individuals and organizations wishing to convene a team project must:

Outline a project or initiative that serves the Greater St. Louis region;
Be realistic about expectations for team involvement (on average, each participant will spend approx. 10-12 hours on the project over the duration of the 3-month program);
Engage with a project team for the duration of the program and attend meetings on program days;
Have a clear understanding that this engagement does not involve fundraising;
Identify Champion(s) that will provide support to the team throughout the project; and
Have support from your Board of Directors, Advisory Board or senior leadership.

We will not consider team project requests from religious organizations for sectarian purposes, for-profit companies, or sports teams.

“After four years in classrooms, I was very eager to gain some ‘real world’ experience. I was also hoping to gain a deeper understanding as to how politics and policy worked. Coro provided me an opportunity to achieve all of these goals and in the process pushed me to explore issues unfamiliar to me.”
