The season for giving has started. Thank you for your past support of Atlas Corps. Thanks to you, 2017 has been another memorable year in building our network of 600+ social change leaders. This year, we reached 97 new Fellows, up from 40% from 69 Fellows in 2016.
Why support Atlas Corps on #GivingTuesday?
Atlas Corps provides opportunities for the best global changemakers to give a year of their lives to serve and find solutions to the enormous challenges our world is facing. They are building bridges that overcome cultural, geographical, and political differences because they challenges are too great to solve alone. You can support talented international leaders like...
Abeer, a human rights professional from Aleppo, Syria, who left a humanitarian crisis to gain new skills she could use to advance her home country. She is gaining that knowledge in New York as she promotes leadership programs that strengthen the global nonprofit sector through the American Express Leadership Academies.
Amira, a public health professional from Khartoum, Sudan, is gaining the skills to advance community health at home by promoting innovative women’s health initiatives and advancing gender equality at the International Center for Research on Women in Washington, DC.
And our Alumnus, Arturo, an instructional designer for social change from Monterrey, Mexico, applied his experience from serving at Kid’s Food Basket in Michigan to develop financial and business learning courses for nearly 19,000 low-income women entrepreneurs in Mexico. Arturo also serves on our Board of Directors.
Before Atlas Corps, Abeer, Amira, and Arturo were talented individuals independently working in their home countries. Now, as Atlas Corps Fellows, they are part of a global community committed to sharing ideas to accomplish real results on a global scale—88% of our Alumni say they are achieving impact in their local communities because of the Fellowship.
Build bridges with Atlas Corps!
These individuals are not barriers to safety. They are bridge builders to opportunity. They are crossing borders to share and learn and return home to better their countries.
In the lead up to November 28, #GivingTuesday, I encourage you to visit donate.atlascorps.org and learn about all of the exciting incentives for Atlas Corps donors. With matching and bonus funds available that day, supporters can increase the value of their dollar and multiply their impact. So just like our Atlas Corps Fellows, donors like you will can be bridge builders too!
