Atlas Corps Middle East and Africa

Greetings...from my home to yours;)

As we come together virtually, I continue to be inspired by people. Some of the people who inspire me most are the Atlas Corps Fellows who continue to serve knowing that their service will empower them to be better leaders into the future. Also, I send a shout out to our Alumni who are in that next leadership level and continue to stay connect with one another. A great example is our Alumna Amira (Sudan | Class 21, Host: International Center for Research on Women). You may remember her from our Empower Women Globally campaign in 2018. She continues to inspire!

Check out our latest blog post: Alumni Making Impact as the Communicable Diseaes Officer for the World Health Organization

After serving as an Atlas Corps Fellow in Washington, DC, Amira began working for the World Health Organization as the Communicable Disease Officer. She credits the Fellowship for helping her achieve this professional milestone:

Atlas Corps added that critical lens to the way I see things, through the amazing exposure I got during working with my Host Organization, attending different events that Atlas Corps organized as well as interacting with Fellows from all over the world with incredible talent and background.

Visit the blog post to read more about her current work and highlights from the Fellowship.

Thank you, Amira, for the valuable role you are playing advancing public health on an international level. Also, thank YOU for supporting Amira and our community of more than 775 Fellows from 96 countries! I encourage you to read more Fellow highlights on our blog. 

Be Well-

Abby

P.S. All of us at Atlas Corps send our best. We thank you for your ongoing support and for being part of our community!

Hello,

Thank you - what a great year and what an unforgettable decade! In December 2009, Atlas Corps had supported only 25 Fellows from 7 countries. Now, as we approach the end of a decade, we are a diverse global community of more than 750 professionals from 95 countries. You got us here. You have grown with us.

You supported inspired leaders like Ons (Tunisia). As an Atlas Corps Fellow, Ons served as the Training Manager at Atlas Corps and lead our Global Leadership Lab, which includes Orientation, Immersion, and other external event. She recently described her Fellowship experience:

"During my Fellowship, I have built lifelong connections, gained international perspectives....developed a wide range of skills and confidently got out of my comfort zone. For me, these are all great achievements and I cannot wait to share these knowledge and experience with my network in Tunisia."

Ons completed her Fellowship in October. We send her the best as she multiplies impact back home!

Today, will you join us in lifting up leaders like Ons and hundreds of other social change professionals? Please support Atlas Corps. 

Thank you for being part of this dynamic community. Let’s make the next decade even more memorable!

Happy Holidays,

Scott
