A moment of gratitude and inspiration

By Abby Robinson | Chief Strategy Officer | Alumna Class 2 (USA)

Greetings!

Thank YOU for supporting Atlas Corps throughout 2022! This year has been a year of new opportunities and growth for Atlas Corps and our gratitude for you continues to grow more and more.

Thank you for supporting our growing Community. Since we last spoke, we welcomed new dynamic leaders into our global Community, which now includes 1,400+ social change leaders from 115 countries!

In April, we welcomed Class 45, which includes seven Fellows from the countries of India, Nigeria, El Salvador, Indonesia, and Rwanda.
In July, we welcomed Class 46, which includes seven Fellows from Pakistan, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria, as well as five American Indian Foundation (AIF) Fellows.

Thank you for creating opportunities for our Leaders, like Fellow Michelle (Class 44, Mexico), to multiply their impact within their communities.

Michelle was recently a panelist at the VI Young Americas Forum in Los Angeles, California, where she presented Atlas Corps as an effective global service model: “Global service models such as Atlas Corps help break down barriers among countries, cultures, and people by immersing global young leaders into local communities in the U.S. and creating an intercultural exchange between local residents and international fellows.”
Read about her experience here.

Thank you for supporting us during our Bonus Day and Celebration of Service on July 20. I am happy to report that it was a success!

We raised over $22,000, surpassing our initial goal of $20,000!
We recognized the following Distinguished Honorees:

Distinguished Volunteer: Selection Board Member, Clark (Learn more about his volunteer experience here.)
Distinguished Host Organization: IFDC (Learn more about their host experience here.)
Distinguished Supporter: Conrad N. Hilton Foundation! (Learn more about our partnership with the Hilton Foundation here.)

In case you missed the virtual celebration, I encourage you to enjoy the recording of the celebration.

Most of all, thank YOU for being an amazing friend of Atlas Corps!

Cheers!

-Abby

15 years...and 14 days to celebrate

Fellows join 2021 Changemaker Honoree during Gala

Hello!

Happy Holidays! Our 15th Anniversary year of celebration continues - we are on the 14 day countdown until the end of 2021!

It has been a remarkable year. THANK YOU for helping us achieve this organizational milestone. This year, with your support, we have also reached some new achievements - we have brought Fellows to the United States to complete their service experience and engaged 375 Scholars in our Virtual Leadership Institute.

We invite you to mark this special occasion with some video highlights from the Atlas Corps 15th Anniversary Celebration that took place in Washington, DC, on November 20.

Part 1: Welcome Remarks
Part 2: Recognition of Global Changemaker and Lifetime Achievement Honoree

Of course, the real story of Atlas Corps is in the individuals who have been part of our journey over these 15 years. From those early adopters gathered around a table in India when we were just an idea to our circle of friends who show their support each year to the 1,100 social changemakers who have participated in our leadership programs, Atlas Corps is a movement. We are about connecting talented individuals to opportunity and to one another. THANK YOU for joining us!

This highlight video captures this organizational journey - watch here! The final scene features the inspired words of Atlas Corps Founder Scott Beale during our 5th Anniversray Celebration in 2011:

I'm glad I helped launch Atlas Corps.
I'm glad you helped launch Atlas Corps.
And for that I am eternally grateful.

Yes, we are eternally grateful as well. THANK YOU for being part of this community and for your continued support! As we celebrate 15 years, we also celebrate you.

Cheers-

Abby

P.S. Let's end the year on a high note! Will you join in our 15 for 15 campaign - our goal is to get 15 people to donate $15 for our 15th Anniversary. Will you show your support with a quick gift? #AtlasCorps15
