About the Atlas Corps Professional Development Programs 2022
12-month In-Person Fellowship in the U.S.
The Atlas Corps In-Person Fellowship is a 12 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. The U.S.-based component of the Fellowship allows participants to engage in group cultural activities like a D.C. Monuments Tour, sporting events, U.S. holiday celebrations, and more. While the In-Person Fellowship is typically 12 months, the length can be extended by an additional 6 months upon agreement of the Fellow and Host Organization.
Blended (Remote and US-based) 14-Month Fellowship
The Blended Fellowship combines virtual service from Fellows’ home countries with service in the United States, along with in-person and virtual training through our Global Leadership Lab.
The total length of the Blended Fellowship (including the remote and in-person components) is typically 14 months but can be extended by agreement of the Fellow and Host.
