Atlas Corps does important work around the globe, bridging communities and bringing opportunities to global talent. Atlas Corps has a great management team and is on the cutting edge of thought leadership on the 'future of work'
The team has a great visionary leader/ excited for the future.
I started my Atlas Corps journey as a fellow in 2013 and am now very proud to be a board member! Amazing organization really moving the needle on global talent development and future of work.
Great way to travel the world from your home, meeting people from around our globe while volunteering to help a wonderful organization support and grow outstanding young leaders igniting positive social change.
Atlas Corps is an exceptional organization dedicated to both its Fellowes and volunteers. As a volunteer last summer, I got to welcome a cohort of Fellowes at the airport for their first time in the U.S. The experience was wonderful, and the Atlas Corps staff were always available by text or phone call if I had any questions or concerns about my role as a volunteer.
I volunteered for this non-profit in 2012 and came away with a very positive impression of it's mission, staff, and the Atlas Corps Fellows. I
Great organisation doing an amazing job !!!
I would recommend Atlas Corps to any individual or corporate entity that is committed to the Social Sector development!
Atlas Corps is an amazing organization that supports social change leaders around the world and builds capacity of U.S. organizations! By connecting talented professionals and organizations across borders, they promote innovation and cultural exchange. International development so often involves people from the "global north" going to the "global south," and I'm glad to see Atlas Corps flipping the usual paradigm and supporting local leaders in their professional journeys and networking.

Atlas Corps' work is nearly unique in the nonprofit sector and fills a need for capacity-building across borders. This program allows talented nonprofit professionals to come to the U.S. and gain nonprofit management skills, while strengthening the organizations where they serve. As Senior Program Manager, I've seen up close how many Atlas Corps Fellows learn so much from the Fellowship and gain access to an incredible network of other leaders. At the same time, I've also seen how much the U.S.-based organizations gain from having a Fellow on their team, giving their international perspective and sharing their expertise. Atlas Corps is not just working on one kind of issue or in one country, but a wide range of issues around the world.
Atlas Corps is a phenomenal organization that connects emerging social change leaders with organizations across the country to promote innovation. I have enjoyed my experience collaborating with Atlas Corps.
I am a volunteer at Atlas Corps and I am happy to be part of such a meaningful organization. It indeed helps people from all over the globe to unite and connect despite all the differences and challenges. Every time I am reviewing an application or having a conversation with a potential Atlas Corps fellow I get inspired by his or her great work and incredibly affluent experience. Atlas Corps has a strong mission that is actually being fulfilled everyday by the amazing people!
Atlas Corps truly values its family of Staff, Interns, Fellows, Alumni, and Donors. Despite being just an intern my voice has always been heard and my input has always been valued. In my short time working at Atlas Corps I have learned more about international social development and about how we can all change the world than I have learned with any other organization. Atlas Corps' mission of enabling global social change leaders and innovators translates into every level of this non-profit.
Inspiring people! This organization is my inspiration in 2020. The people, the stories, the community - I am energized by this group! I am honored to be involved and look forward to more engagement!
Serving as an Atlas Corps Fellow was a life change experience! Prior to the fellowship program, I was working overseas in Nigeria and was seeking an avenue to expand the reach of impact internationally. Thanks to Atlas Corps this aspiration became a reality. The organization offered me a yearlong service opportunity in Washington DC, and connected me to a global network of changemakers and strategic partners to bring my ideas to life. I recommend this orgnization without hesitation.
Atlas Corps connected me with the best fellows from all over the world!! The network and relationships created go a very long way!
I was the first fellow from Jordan, Atlas Corps was watching me closely and giving addressing all my challenges for developing.
Absolutely loved it. My fellowship with Atlas Corps turned out to be very beneficial for me, it added a lot of value to my professional profile. I was also a volunteer for their selection committee and chair of the Executive Committee .
Atlas Corps Fellowship provided me with a rare opportunity to step away from deadlines, delve deeply into issues that matter most to me, and interact with thought leaders and champions from around the world. It expended my thinking and my drive for social change. The last one year was immeasurably rewarding – intellectually, professionally, and personally. Those twelve months gave me new interests, friends, and a continuing association with the vibrant Atlas Corps Alumni community.
Atlas Corps is an ideal platform for emerging global leaders and U.S. Based nonprofits. I believe it was my life’s best decision I made to serve Atlas Corps Fellowship. Every meeting and networking session was an opportunity to change your perspective.
Atlas Corps has surpassed my expectations since joining as a fellow. I have gained from networking opportunities and exposure
Atlas Corps has a great model of citizen-based diplomacy and capacity building for both the host organizations and its Fellows. What the host organizations gain from the experience their international Fellows bring is unique and hard to replicate. And the professional experience gained by those Fellows are brought back to their home countries helps positively shape their future.
Excellent NGO focused on developing leadership skills of talented professionals around the world. I've personally witnessed their commitment and successes in the tech space.
Atlas corps gives a great opportunity for social leaders from around the world send them to the US, take them out from their comfort zones and shape their skills. It also helps local organisation to use the fellows skills and experience to change and develop in their organisations.
The model has a higher multiplier effect. The leaders developed become influencers of social change.
Atlas Corps is promoting diversity and inclusion by selecting social change leaders from across the globe and bringing them over to the US for a year-long training for professional development.
As a long-time volunteer and supporter, I've watched Atlas Corps grow over the last 11 years into an impactful and well-run organization. Meeting the Fellows is believing - they are impressive when they arrive in the US and even more well equipped to change the world when they finish the Fellowship!
I am consistently amazed by the professionalism of Atlas Corps and the good that it does across the world.
Atlas Corps is an innovative nonprofit with exceptional vision and impact. They are implementing best-practices to develop the best social change leaders around the world. Now, more than ever, as governments are cutting funding and shrinking diplomatic efforts, private-sector programs like Atlas Corps are needed to fill the void and ensure that we can turn to NGOs and nonprofits to find the solutions to critical global issues. Atlas Corps is truly working to save the world!
After spending over 40 years working with non-profit organizations, Atlas Corps is the most rewarding by far. Both the mission in developing international civic change leasders and the quality of the staff and volunteers are excellent. In an era where there is movement toward insular nationalism it is more relevant than ever that we do all we can to maintain the lines of communication between differing cultures. Atlas Corps dpes that and more every day. Despite challenges both financial andf programmatic, the organization manages to have a significant impact on the lives of Fellows, staff, volunteers, and the world at large.
Awesome! Atlas Corps connects people, talent, opportunity across border. It is amazing to see what these emerging leaders achieve when they are given the opportunity. Congrats Atlas Corps!
Atlas Corps is an amazing organization to work with. Also, the Fellows I am meeting through the Fellowship are not only excellent, passionate professionals but exceptional humans too.
Atlas Corps is an amazing Organization to work with and be part of vibrant community spread over 88 countries to expand your international horizon and skills to address the challenges in your community.
Atlas Corps is an amazing organization working to build global networks and bridges to address the world's most pressing social issues. It's an innovative, effective and growing model for cross-sector and skillset collaboration!

As an Atlas Corps Intern for 2 summers now, I have had the wonderful opportunity to delve deeply into Atlas Corps' organization and driving mission. It is inspiring to work with people who are creating a deep network of social change makers -- from the Fellows that come from across the world and bring their unique insights to social issues they are passionate about and the dynamic Host Organizations that teach and learn from these Fellows to the Atlas Corps staff itself, which is incredibly hard-working and dedicated. Atlas Corps' mission of creating a transnational flow of social change leaders resonates with me after a semester abroad and seeing and hearing about the amazing work that Fellows do makes me feel so proud to be contributing to this organization.
Mission-centric and Professional organization that partners with local and global communities to develop leaders and strengthen the organizations that serve those in need.
High energy and passionate team of staff that are dedicated to supporting international nonprofit leaders
As I boarded the flight from Liberia to DC to become an Atlas Corps Fellow, I kept asking myself, “Is the Atlas Corps Fellowship worth my entire 2015?" I became a fellow to learn, share, network and return to Liberia to support my country by using new and old technologies to inspire social change and Atlas Corps didn't disappoint me. The fellowship is a worthy experience and I encourage other young leaders around the world to apply and help make the world a better place.
Atlas Corps presents a huge palette of opportunities for all whom it serves. Expanded perspective, strategic networking, new skills and tactics for operating in the nonprofit sector, plus the mere wonder of experiencing a new cultural are some of the benefits that Fellows are almost guaranteed to derive. Staff are driven and committed to improving the Organization's impact. This model is empowering, and is getting better all the time!
Atlas Corps' approach of bringing Fellows to the US for 12 months of service is a good approach for professionals seeking service at an international level. The fellowship provides an avenue for them to share experiences and learn best practices that will foster great performance during and after the fellowship. It also provides an opportunity for establishing strong networks that benefit both the individual and Atlas Corps or the Host Organization.
Atlas Corps brings together people from different countries with different cultures and language who have one thing in common - their desire to change the world. How unique a group is that? They learn from each other, inspire each other and support each others social impact projects in the years to come...
Atlas Corps is a great place to work! Every day I get to work with inspiring nonprofit leaders from around the world, and empower them to make a difference both in my country and theirs. International development is not just about the rich countries helping the poor, or the developed world helping the developing world, but all of us working together. Atlas Corps is strengthening the social sector by helping talented leaders cross borders and join an always-expanding network!
The Atlas Corps Fellowship is a life changing opportunity. It is not everyday that you get the chance to live one year in a foreign country, learn about it's culture, connect with all sorts of people, while serving in a U.S. non-profit. This experience changes the way you see and think about not only the United States but also the world and it's connectivity. To be able to share experiences and create bonds with other fellows from more than +70 different nationalities is unique and priceless.
It is a personal and professional growth experience that I would highly recommend to every single individual -and the organization behind this fellowship, is aware of it. Since day one I have been impressed by the preparation and committment of the Atlas Corps team to make sure the fellows know everything they need to know regarding their fellowship experience. They have created a strong support network so you will never feel alone. They have workshops and trainings on a monthly basis. They are aware of the potential within the leaders they support (fellows) and do everything the can to help exploit it. More than the systems in place, I have been impressed by the drive and quality of the Atlas Corps staff. They understand the value of what they are doing and this is reflected on the way they have helped built more than an organization, a family: the Atlas Corps Family. I couldn't feel any luckier to be a part of it.
Atlas Corps is a unique non-profit in the U.S. Its motto is "Change your perspective. Change the world" and invite us to turn our conventions upside down and believe that change can also come from young leaders from the developing world. We all have things to learn from each other, the north from the south and the east from the west, and in that regard, Atlas Corps is doing an amazing job!
Atlas Corps is an amazing organization that gives you an opportunity to build yourself as a non-profit leader. You are able to engage in meaning conversations with leaders from all over the world and links you to a host organization where you can share your expertise and also build more skills to be a better leader.
Atlas corps is indomitable and incomparable. The only international not-for -profit organisation that has succeeded so far within ten years of its existence in changing the world's perspective on social issues plaguing our different communities by linking social change professionals from all over the world not only to improve their skills in the USA, but to also share their experiences in their various field of expertise and to strengthen their host organisations.
"Atlas corps, you have proven to the world that although we are different colours from Africa, Asia, Europe, USA, we are one people. In fact, you are a very strong force to reckon with".
This is a unique Fellowship program for the non-profit leaders. Besides sharing the expertise with the Host Organization, Fellows groom up him/herself with more expertise on leadership and networking guided by the Atlas Corps. Like to see more Fellows in the community.
Atlas Corps is truly strengthening the nonprofit sector worldwide! U.S.-based organizations are benefitting from the perspectives and ideas of incredible leaders who come to volunteer from all over the world. These same leaders are developing even further as they learn new methods of planning, implementing and executing social change initiatives. It's truly an amazing process to be a part of.
Atlas Corps Fellowship is one of the best ways to find and be yourself in the best environment you can have in your life. You can develop and share the professional skills/experiences and abundant resources with other fellows who are mature youth leaders from different countries. Atlas Corps finds you the best host organization that will provide the professional environment where you can always grow and develop skills that you have. You can truly learn the definition of diversity from the Global Leadership Lab (GLL) that Atlas Corps provides.
Atlas Corps is an incredible experience, it gives you the opportunity to know other non-profit leaders, to learn about different cultures, strategies, methodologies of work in your or different non-profit areas, it makes you understand the work system in the US and gives you the opportunity to share your experience, as a professional and as a person. I'm glad and grateful that there are organizations like Atlas Corps,willing to change the world.
Atlas Corps is the kind of organizations that this world needs. It has helped hundreds of leaders around the world to exchange ideas and boost innovation through many projects. The experience is an invaluable asset for young non-profit leaders that change their lives and communities.
I am very impressed at what Atlas Service Corps is doing and creating social impact to US. I want to fully support this organization and wish to bring more and more global leaders from the world to US!!!
Atlas Corps is a highly successful exchange program that provides the nonprofit professionals from across the globe a once in a life time opportunity to show case their talent at the global stage. The program not only offers a perfect blend of on the job and class room learning for its participants, but it essentially transforms sector leaders to global leaders. The program is also effectively developing networks among nonprofit professionals across the world and positively contributing towards the social change the world is in dire need of.
Atlas Corps., is providing professionals around the world, an opportunity to learn new skills, in a competitive and international environment, that they can later utilize, in their own communities to bring about positive changes. Change makers go through tough training, which helps them grow into stronger leaders, for their own communities. This training is essential for all the future leaders out there.
It is a wonderful experience for me as it is transforming my perspective of the world, nonprofit sector and people in a positive way. Serving at my Host Organization that encourages innovation and values my contribution give me a sense of achievement and brings out the best in me. Meeting the best nonprofit leaders for exchange of ideas/experiences to resolve global issues and challenges is also an amazing opportunity to learn from each other and take advantage of diversity.
Atlas Corps is a wonderful organization because it models transparency and flexibility. The staff are open to new ideas and ways to engage with volunteers. The Fellows are the organization's best assets, and host organizations across the social sector benefit from having international experts in their fields. I hope that Atlas Corps keeps growing in breadth and depth, since it has the potential to make differences in both individual lives and in the non-profit sector on a macro scale.
As an Atlas Corps Intern, I became intimately familiar with large government agencies and nonprofits. I received extensive training and became a better saleswoman, a more sensitive listener, and a more empowered vessel for social change. Working here, even as an unpaid intern, has cultivated my professional growth and introduced me to passionate, talented people.
When you support Atlas Corps, you support a global network of leaders who understand the local conditions to be navigated if progress in the developing world is to be made. Supporting Atlas Corps is supporting an anti-imperialist approach to aid.
As an Atlas Corps intern, I had the unique opportunity to see the organization from a more detail oriented, personal perspective. I can safely say that Atlas Corps is exactly what it advertises itself as: a superb organization that develops both professional non-profit leaders and organizations. The staff are some of the most committed, hard-working professionals I have ever worked with, and the fellows are gifted change-makers that are some of the best in the non-profit field. Atlas Corps' network connects the best and brightest around the world, creating a global community in which ideas, resources, and contacts can be shared. The organization is a true testament to the belief that change and development are global ideas, and that they can become realities through the creation of new opportunities where previously, there were few.
Virtual volunteering - love it! Atlas Corps provides me an opportunity to connect with the world as I help to review applications from around the world. They really do exceptional work inspiring emerging global leaders!
Atlas Corps is the opportunity of a lifetime. My experience as an Atlas Corps Fellow is one of the most important events in my career. This organization empowers social entrepreneurs from around the world by providing a paid professional exchange program that not only has allowed me to learn from one of the best nonprofits in the United States, I am also getting to meet some of the most inspiring and brilliant young minds from around the world as part of an exclusive community. It is truly a privilege to be a part of this Fellowship. Atlas Corps is a very innovative approach to multiplying social good. If you are a young nonprofit professional with a passion for social development, a taste for adventure, a love for challenges, and want to meet people who will make a difference in our communities, then Atlas Corps is perfect for you. I assure you, there is nothing quite like it.
As a current Atlas Corps Fellow representing India, I have been fortunate to be selected for such a competitive fellowship. Atlas Corps Inc. is one of the leading Non-Profit organizations bringing highly skilled change-maker and game-changers from across the world. The Fellowship not only strengthens cultural diversity and engagement but also looks at creating high-end professional attitudes to build leadership and long-lasting relationships between fellows and host organizations. Every aspiring international development leader must apply and share about this growing community!
Been a volunteer with this incredible change-making organization for more than 3 years. The fellows they engage from across the globe are not just tomorrow's leaders: they are today's leaders. Thank you, Atlas Corps, for the opportunity to engage!
This is one of the best non-profit organizations in the world that has been helping non-profit leaders from around the world - especially from the developing countries to come to the US and other developed countries for professional trainings and experiences. Their contribution towards tackling social issues around the globe is through building capacities of those who are part of the societies that confront these issues. I love their dedication towards what they do, I wish them all the successes in their endeavor.
Atlas Corps & CIPE think tanks LINKS fellowship was the impulse I needed as a researcher in a think tank in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The 6-month-long visiting fellowship in one of the top U.S. think tanks (the Heritage Foundation) gave me what I aimed for and more: knowledge of how a modern think tank works, how the research is efficiently connected with communications and community outreach, and a dynamic network of professional contacts. Also, I was able to contribute to bridging the informational gap between the USA and Ukraine by speaking and writing about economic and political developments in my home country.
I recommend Atlas Corps service for young professionals who are looking for fresh ideas, world-class experience, and personal development in a culturally diverse setting.

It is a traditional thought that too many cooks spoil the broth. To have an idea where leaders are invited from across the world to serve is innovative but risky. Atlas corps succeeds tremendously in containing their energies and still getting the work done. It is like a parliament or senate where everyone is learning to be president. Unusual but awesome.
AS an Atlas Corps fellow, I believe that it is through Atlas Corps' cross cultural, cross sector and cross geographical exchanges that we can come up with new and innovative ideas to address global development.
However, this Fellowship is more than professional development; it is about personal development and how we can become better humans to improve the lives of others. I was working on building leadership in girls trafficked into the sex trade in some corner of the world called Mumbai, in India. I became an Atlas Corps Fellow to learn new perspectives in leadership development at American Express and to join this inspiring crew. Just in my first month, I toured the national Mall with a former white house worker, salsa danced with the best from Mexico, and learned about the pediatric AIDS situation in South Sudan!
Atlas Corps and the Atlas Corps Fellowship has been a great opportunity to meet likeminded changemakers from around the world and change the perspective around international service and volunteering.
AtlasCorps picks great fellows and represents the future of cross-cultural education and leadership in the international development and non-profit sector. If you want to take your work to another level, you should host an Atlas Corps fellow who will bring an amazing perspective and unique skills from their country and life experience. Our fellow from Kenya helped us train our members on the perspective of the recipient of a capacity building study and she also became a great friend and colleague.
Working as a intern at Atlas Corps have been very interesting and I have learned a lot. I did not have any internship experience before I applied for this job. Competing against many others, Atlas Corps gave me the opportunity to start my professional career. Everybody needs to start at one place, right? I feel that I have been very included in the work and that my supervisor actually is dependent on my work. Others come to their internship, write a paper, and then go home. I know how it feels to be given the opportunity to develop as a professional and as a person. My example highlights a part of Atlas Corps "Big Idea": talent is equally distributed around the world, opportunity is not. Through their unique exchange program, which have been profiled as "best practice" by the Brookings Institute, Atlas Corps have given 140 talented professionals from 40 different countries an opportunity to make a difference. Atlas Corps tackles critical social issues by develop leaders, strengthens organizations, and promotes innovation. The world is changing rapidly and Atlas Corps are contributing to prepare us for the future. Leadership have always played a major role in the societies and will continue to do that in the future as well. I truly believe that the work Atlas Corps do make a difference and change the world to a better place. My time as an intern is soon over and I will go back to Norway. I have learned more from my internship than from my school this semester. Think about how much the participants of Atlas Corps´ exchange program learn and develop during their 12 to 18 months in the U.S. It is an honor to nominate Atlas Corps. I hope that the organization receives all the credit it deserves.
The Atlas Corps Fellowship program is an incredible opportunity for nonprofit professionals. As a Fellow serving at Atlas Corps, this experience continues to be one at which I learn best practices and skills that will help me work towards becoming a nonprofit leader in the years to come.
As a global social entrerpeneur transforming how universities connect their graduates with careers that maximizes impact and income, I repeatedly hear students and young graduates become frustrated with fellowship programs that don't enable them to combine leveraging their management skill set with a global meaningful experience. Atlas Service Corps is a unique way to respond to this need! Atlas Corps gives emerging leaders a one of a kind opportunity to leverage their leadership skills within a different cultural setting. It is very challenging to match quality social innovators with top nonprofits around the world, but again and again the Atlas Service Corps team delivers just that. From my conversations with a number of Atlas Service Corps alumni, the lessons learned by fellows and host organizations alike are transformational both at an individual as well as at an organizational/sector level. Altas Service Corps has all the right ingredients: Top notch mission, outstanding team, and stellar implementation, pretty rare in the social sector, I wish them all the best in their growth and continued success.
I worked at Atlas Corps for over two years and it was a life changing experience. I truly believe in this organizations vision and more importantly, the implementation of that vision. Not only is their mission innovative but their practices are as well. I am always impressed by the caliber of Fellows the program attracts. This proves that there is indeed talent all around the world but the opportunity to showcase and capitalize on that talent is missing. Atlas Corps is more than a great nonprofit, it is an organization that enables other nonprofits and nonprofit professionals to become great nonprofits and leaders in the field. There is a proven need for the service that Atlas Corps provides and I am excited to see its growth over the years!
Ok, so I am a little biased, as the Founder, CEO and on the Board, but I think these reviews are important and I want to briefly, candidly and personally, tell you why I love Atlas Corps. The vision of Atlas Corps is elegant and beautiful - a world where nonprofit leaders cross borders, serve, learn and return home to create a global generation working together to tackle social issues. But we all know vision, rarely lines up with the hard logistics of reality. However, at Atlas Corps, what we have seen in six years, in the realization of this vision beyond our wildest dreams. We have now supported 141 leaders, from 41 different countries. A crazy diverse, insanely talented, community, perhaps family, of nonprofit professionals committed to global service. When the Muslim woman from Pakistan becomes best friends with the Evangelical Christian from Nigeria, when doctors from North Sudan become housemates with environmental workers from South Sudan, when a Mexican peace activist learns from a youth leader from Zimbabwe and Belgium --- this gives me hope for the world. Atlas Corps deserves 6 stars (not 5!) because our Fellows are amazing. We have a ways to go to improve our training program, we make some mistakes, we are not perfect, but our Fellows represent the potential of perfect - a world no longer divided by political, racial or religious lines, but a world united by common values, passion and desire to make a difference. Thank you for your support!
Atlas Service Corps gives the talented and experienced the opportunity to explore and develop their potentials in a different cultural setting. It is not easy to bring together people around from the globe to share and learn new experiences in the non-profit sector so as to give much of their services in the field of their expertise. It is an innovative way of bringing the world together and creating peace. The experience learnt by fellows with the cultural amalgamation is good enough to be tolerant to other from different parts of the world. Thumbs Atlas Service Corps
My name is Richards Matthew. Atlas corps is one of the greatest NGO that currently exist because of their far reaching vision to transform the world to be a better place for all. I have see a good numbers of lives that this great organization has transformed, some are from my country Nigeria. this is why am apply to the next set to go from my country.
I am a proud Atlas Corps alumna (serving in Bogota, Colombo 2009 - 2010) and a member of the executive board. Atlas Corps builds personal and professional bridges between exceptional young non-profit leaders around the world and organizations committed to social change. For an Atlas Corps fellow, they get the experience of a lifetime to serve abroad at a organization for a year, gaining skills, experience and contacts. For the host organizations, they have the benefit of working with some of the best, brightest and most committed social leaders in the world. Everyone wins, including the greater global good!
I am serving at CARE which is largest non-profit in U.S as an Atlas Corps Fellow. It is a great experience. Today, its been 2 months and I am feeling like a lot of changes in my ways of working, thinking approach and I am coming across with many ideas to address the issue. It is a great opportunity and I would highly recommend if you want to advance your career in short period of time, you want to enjoy your work overseas, you want to have networking, you want to meet with brilliant people and if you have a passion, choose Atlas Corps. It is fun and great deal of learning by be an Atlas Corps Fellow.
Atlas Corps with the Supervision of Mr. Scott Belle is the best nonprofit organization not only in USA but in the whole world. Because with its fellowship program which started in 2006 got more importance in the lives of professionals from development sector. Atlas Corps brings great opportunities for Different organizations and for the professionals who are working with different local communities around the world. The best thing in this organization is that they pick fellows from every country which is their strength and big achievement. I should say Atlas Corps is the only organization which is working a cause in true meaning. I should be proud to be a part of Atlas Corps. Good Luck
Atlas Corps is the nexus of where talent meets opportunity! In 2008, I served as an Atlas Corps Fellow in Bogota, Colombia. It was an opportunity to share my knowledge and, more importantly, to learn from others. For a mid-career professional, there are not many opportunities for long-term, career-level service. Atlas Corps fills that gap. Now, five years later, I am proud to say that I am part of a growing network of 140 Fellows from 40 countries and more than 15,000 others connected view a virtual network. Atlas Corps breaks down political, geographical, and cultural barriers to network the best talent to solve our world's best social issues. Atlas Corps, thank you for giving me this opportunity!
