Atlas Corps and the American India Foundation are still accepting applications for the AIF Banyan Impact Fellowship for service in the United States. As an AIF Banyan Impact Fellow, you will serve full-time at one of our U.S.-based Host Organizations. Learn more at aif.atlascorps.org!

Meet AIF Banyan Impact Fellow Tabish (Class 46, ) who is serving as the Global Engagement Programs Fellow for the Northwestern Buffett Institute for Global Affairs at Northwestern University. Tabish shares how his Host Organization (especially his supervisor, Patrick Eccles) is contributing to his global perspective, "With Patrick’s wealth of experience, he has been more than kind in extending that to me on various occasions during our class visits, campus outings and other events. I go back to a recent conversation on diversity, equity and inclusion where I learned about what it means in the US context and was left thinking of ways how I can incorporate that in the general discourse back in India."

Through this collaboration with two of our Alumni-led organizations in Pakistan, CaterpillHERS and Accountability Lab Pakistan, this initiative will offer three unique leadership development programs. Learn more at pakistan.atlascorps.org and be sure to apply by the November 30 deadline!

Meet Atlas Corps Alumna Hira (Class 31, ), the founder of CaterpillHERS, a social enterprise that provides early-stage business curriculum and mentorship to women enterpreneurs. Hira stresses the importance of collaboration, especially when working with social issues such as women's entrepreneurship:

"Atlas Corps Fellowship made me realize that the underlying issue of women’s economic empowerment is universal to all countries in the world including the US. The call for change in every country is the same with different names hence the collaboration between the countries is necessary..... This is why I partnered with my host organization to bring a program to my home country and it’s all because Atlas Corps paved the way for me."

Atlas Corps Scholar and current Fellow Sana (Class 45, ) shares, “Virtual Leadership Institute has been extensively equipping me with appropriate skills and competencies that is aiding me to determine set directions to move my associated/parent organization to a high performance model and also build a lifetime network of peers and leaders to sustain professional growth. Vanessa has emerged as an amazing Group Captain in our peer coaching group calls. As a respectful group leader she actually has helped empower me and some of the other team members by encouraging us to offer ideas about our individual leadership projects. Vanessa’s skillsets, dedication, and tenacity brought a whole new perspective to the peer coaching calls and I feel that as a team we are developing in the right direction in becoming great future leaders.”
