Happy International Day of the Volunteer – Apply to be a Fellow!

Atlas Corps is an overseas fellowship for the world’s best nonprofit leaders. Our mission is to address critical social issues by developing leaders, strengthening organizations, and promoting innovation through an overseas fellowship of skilled nonprofit professionals.
The Atlas Corps Fellowship is a 12-18 month, professional fellowship offered three times a year. Fellows serve full-time at Host Organizations such as Ashoka, CARE, the Grameen Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the UN Foundation, Oxfam, World Wildlife Fund, and the U.S. Peace Corps. In addition to serving at an organization related to their experience, Fellows will develop their leadership skills and nonprofit best practices while networking with other Fellows from around the world.
Atlas Corps seeks overseas nonprofit leaders to apply for a 2013-14 Fellowship in the U.S. or Latin America. This prestigious fellowship includes a living stipend to cover basic expenses (food, local transportation, and shared housing), basic health insurance, and enrollment in Atlas Corps’ Global Leadership Lab, a professional development training program. The Latin America Fellowship program is specifically seeking Spanish-speaking candidates with grant-writing experience for program start-dates in March and September.
