Atlas Service Corps Fellowship

Atlas Service Corps is seeking mid-career nonprofit (non-governmental [NGO] or citizen sector) leaders in developing countries and the United States (US) to apply for a one-year to 18-month overseas fellowship. Atlas Corps facilitates international fellowships for rising citizen sector leaders who volunteer overseas for at least one year. These Fellows then commit to work an additional year in the citizen sector of their home country, sharing skills, practices, and experiences learned through affiliation with the overseas organisation. Fellows from developing countries will be placed at host organisations in Washington, DC, US. Fellows from the US will be placed at host organisations in Bogota, Colombia.

Atlas Corps covers all expenses, including international travel to and from the host placement, a modest living stipend, visa fees, medical insurance, and end-of-service award.

For Spring Fellowships, applications are accepted: August 15th - October 15th. For Fall Fellowships, applications are accepted: February 15th - April 15th

Candidates must meet the following requirements:

• Have 3 or more years of experience in the citizen sector of their home country.
• Have a Bachelor’s degree.
• Speak, read, and write English fluently. If volunteering in Colombia, the individual must speak, read, and write Spanish fluently as well.
• Be committed to returning to their country after the one-year fellowship programme.
