Atlas Corps Celebrates 12 Years of Service!
By Abby Robinson | Chief Development & Engagement Officer

Hello!
As spring breaks and cherry blossoms dot the capital, we will be celebrating 12 years since Atlas Corps first bloomed in 2006. Back then we were welcoming one class a year of outstanding leaders from Colombia and India. Now we’re preparing to welcome our 30th class and have grown into a thriving community of over 600 Fellows from 88 countries. I’m amazed at this network of diverse changemakers connected across the world.
This achievement would not have been possible without your support. Whether you volunteer as a Selection Board member or a Local Ambassador, or you’ve hosted a Fellow at your organization, or donated to our campaigns over the years, you’ve made Atlas Corps a reality.
Together, we are Atlas Corps!
Abby
P.S. Also, mark your calendars for May 23 for our Spring Celebration!
