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."

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."

We’re bridging the gap between opportunity and talent by empowering emerging leaders around the world

Atlas Corps was founded in 2006 in response to the reality that while talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. Atlas Corps empowers emerging leaders around the world in growing their skills and expanding their impact through our two key programs: the Virtual Leadership Institute (VLI) and the Global Leaders Fellowship. Simultaneously, Atlas Corps supports organizations by closing their talent gap

Meet Atlas Corps Scholar, Muzaffar Ahmed (Cohort 11, ), one of our many strong Pakistani leaders who recently just graduated from the Atlas Corps: Pakistan Emerging Leaders Initiative.

As a social entrepreneur, Muzaffar co-founded Burq 7 Tech, a startup developing a smart electricity monitoring system to help Pakistani domestic consumers reduce their consumption to keep it within their monthly budget.

Since graduating from the Virtual Leadership Institute, he will be implementing his Leadership Project which is to develop an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of his smart electricity monitoring system and conduct consumer testing with at least 20 consumers for minimum 3 to 4 months. In his words, "With my VLI project as a part of it, I will be putting my efforts into taking my idea further and developing it into a revenue generating business. The experience I gained during VLI will help me to grow my business while keeping my focus clear on my goal and mission, which is to create an economic and environmental impact in the lives of domestic electricity consumers all over Pakistan through my startup."

Thank you, Muzaffar, and we look forward to seeing you lead positive change in your local communities!

Meet Scholar, Saleta Ameixeiras (Cohort 12, Spain), who is participating in the Atlas Corps: Spain & Andorra Climate Resilience Leadership Initiative, a special partnership with BIOagradables

Upon completing the Virtual Leadership Institute, Saleta plans to implement her Leadership Project, which is to educate youth on climate change topics. She shares, "I have been a climate leader since 2020, after online training at the Climate Reality, a non-profit institution founded by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore. After the training, I received a vast quantity of documentation with the aim of giving training to other on climate change awareness, its causes, consequences, and possible solutions; however, I never did that because of my lack of self-esteem and confidence which I would like to overcome after the Virtual Leadership Institute."

Saleta, thank you for sharing your leadership journey with us. We look forward to seeing you inspire positive change toward youth engagement in climate change!

Also, special thank you to the US Embassy Madrid for connecting us to rising Spanish leaders like Saleta.

Meet Atlas Corps Scholar Nazeer Ahmed (Cohort 11, )! Nazeer joins Atlas Corps as part of the Atlas Corps: Pakistan Emerging Leaders Initiative, a dynamic collaboration with two Atlas Corps Alumni-led organizations: Accountability Lab Pakistan and CaterpillHERs, to build community across emerging professionals in Pakistan by building the capacity of local leaders and community-based initiatives.

While working with the Education Department Government of Balochistan, Pakistan, Nazeer supports teachers' professional development and volunteers for women's educational empowerment. Nazeer plans to continue his dedication to women's and young girls' education through his Leadership Project.

He says, "In order to bypass the historic neglect of women’s education and to empower the region’s youth, my leadership project aims to equip adolescent girls and young women with the skills and confidence to become advocates within their homes and communities for a traditionally marginalized group in their societies. My proposed project will on the one hand give these marginalized groups considerably more leverage to play stronger and more positive roles within a conflict-ridden society, and on the other, help to generate new opportunities for them, exceeding their previous social, economic, and educational limitations."

Thank you, Nazeer, for championing women's educational empowerment in . We can't wait to see how you lead positive change in the future!

One of the values about being part of a global network is learning different international perspectives through other's experiences.

In her blog post, Atlas Corps Fellow, Comfort (Class 49, , Host Org: Deseret Management Corporation) shares valuable lessons from her childhood that shape who she is as a global leader today. One of those lessons, "The Strength of a Team Lies in the Conduct of Each," comes from her times participating in inter-school debates and spelling bee competitions in school.

Comfort says, "We cared less about our personal, religious, age, or ethnic differences, and we were a complete team because our diversity and each other’s skills were our strengths. Working with a diverse team is a plus because it results in increased creativity, lateral thinking, knowledge sharing, motivation, and synergy. The results we achieved opened my eyes to the power of teamwork, diversity, and collaboration, which have been crucial in my work with others."

One of the amazing facets of the Atlas Corps Community is learning best practices from our Fellows and Host Organizations.

Have you heard of "data walk"? It is one of the Participatory Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (PMEL) methods that our Host Organization, The Hunger Project, learned from Urban Institute as a way to engage with their community members in their development initiatives.

Atlas Corps Fellow, Debra (Class 44, ), shares in her blog post (co-authored by her colleague, Pablo Sanchez, Associate Director of Data and Analytics at The Hunger Project):

"A data walk is a method for delving into and analyzing data with the goal of discovering patterns, trends, and revelations. At [The Hunger Project], we implement this activity after an evaluation by creating accessible visual representations of the results and inviting community partners to a meeting to analyze the collected data. Community partners participate in the activity by answering questions like ‘Do you agree with the results?’, ‘Did anything surprise you?’ and ‘What action should we take next?’, to discuss and reflect on the results."

Atlas Corps CEO, Bidjan Nashat, joins PCDNetwork Founder and CEO, Craig Zelizer, in an enlightening conversation on The Social Change Career Podcast.

This episode, "Talent Is Everywhere And Now Opportunity Can Be Too with Bidjan Nashat," covers a wide array of key topics 📚 - from exploring talent in the social change sector, to the importance of partnerships, and an in-depth discussion on the current situation in Colombia regarding Venezuelan migrants and refugees. 🌎

Bidjan also shares his vision on how we can make opportunity as universally distributed as talent, addressing one of the core challenges facing the world today.

In his words, "I believe that coming out of the pandemic, we're in a unique space where organizations and leaders have realized you can work everywhere, and that extends equity to people who haven't had those opportunities.... So we have people who have moved and have been displaced, are refugees, are in countries where the borders are closed but we can still enable remote Fellowships. We can still enable remote leader development and create a community in global citizenship.... because I get to engage with people all over the globe every single week, that's extremely motivating to see that energy, that talent, and that potential. And we want to find, grow, and connect those young professionals with organizations that want to make a difference."

Our mission is to address critical social issues by developing leaders, strengthening organizations, and promoting innovation through an overseas fellowship of skilled nonprofit professionals. Profiled as a “best practice” in international exchange by the Brookings Institution and featured in the Washington Post as a model social entrepreneurship program, Atlas Corps engages leaders committed to the nonprofit sector in 12 to 18 month, professional fellowships at organizations to learn best practices, build organizational capacity, and return home to create a network of global changemakers. As of January 2013, our network of Fellows includes 155 nonprofit leaders from 55 countries.
