2011 Immigrant Civic Leadership Program Applications (ICLP)
The Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs is partnering with Coro New York for this summer's Immigrant Civic Leadership Program. The Immigrant Civic Leadership Program will be a project of One NYC One Nation, a mayoral initiative aimed to increase civic engagement within immigrant communities.
Read the One NYC One Nation Press Release
Coro's Immigrant Civic Leadership Program enhances the capacity of people working to lead change in immigrant communities across the five boroughs. Participants will gain a better understanding of NYC policy and decision making, skills to effectively change their organizations and communities, and a network of engaged and influential alumni to support them in reaching their goals. All participants will identify a community change project that seeks to strengthen immigrant communities so that the impact from their participation will go beyond the training room.
Coro is now accepting applications for the Summer 2011 cohort. If you know of someone who can benefit from the amazing opportunity of participating in ICLP, please encourage them to apply.
