Atlas Corps Fellowships
Atlas Corps invites social change leaders from around the world to apply for our 12-18 month In-Person Fellowship in the United States and our Virtual Leadership Institute.
The Atlas Corps In-Person Fellowship is a 12-18 month leadership development program in the United States for the world’s top social change leaders. Fellows serve full-time with Host Organizations to develop leadership skills and learn effective practices through the Atlas Corps Global Leadership Lab professional development series and networking opportunities with other Fellows.
While Atlas Corps seeks candidates from a wide variety of specialties, we are prioritizing applicants for opportunities beginning in early 2022 with two or more years of full-time experience in at least one of the following skill areas:
- Communications / Marketing
- Partnership Building / Business Development
- Monitoring & Evaluation / Data Analysis
- Technology / Engineering
Note: There are Fellowship placements available for candidates with expertise in these areas in early 2022. While professionals in these four fields will receive priority review in our selection process, we welcome applications with other professional skill sets.
12-18 months
Atlas Corps also provides each Fellow with a living stipend to cover basic expenses (food, local transportation, and shared housing), a monthly phone plan, emergency health and travel insurance, and round-trip international airfare.
