Atlas Corps Middle East and Africa

Hello!

How are you? When we announced our #AtlasCorps2025 strategy, you responded with so much encouragement and support. As we make our exciting transition into the future, I want to take a moment to thank you for supporting our growing Community, especially throughout the Middle East and African regions. 

Since we last spoke….

Your support helped us grow our Global Community to 1,400+ social change leaders from 115 countries!

• In May, we welcomed our second year of 50 Hilton Prize Scholars from 31 countries, which includes the three new countries of Lesotho, New Zealand, and Portugal. We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. Learn more at 2022 Hilton Humanitarian Prize Laureate Leadership Institute. 
• In April, we welcomed Class 45, which includes 7 Fellows from India, Nigeria, El Salvador, Indonesia, and Rwanda.

 And our Community continues to grow with these new and exciting opportunities!

• Atlas Corps is hiring! - We seek Development Manager, Individuals & Events - Partnerships Senior Manager -Talent Acquisition Manager. Learn more at (and SHARE!) at https://atlascorps.org/join-the-team/
• Fellow Recruitment - Our deadline is June 22, 2022, to apply to the Atlas Corps Fellowship. Please find the posting materials here.

Your support helped inspire our global leaders from the Middle East and African regions.

• Fellow Lorna (Class 43, Kenya) is the Project Management Fellow at her Host Organization, Luminate. Her supervisor Laura Bacon, the Director of Partner support, describes Lorna as multi-faceted and an invaluable asset to her team: “We will be using Lorna’s project management and knowledge management systems for the foreseeable future. Our program needed professionalization, and she has provided that. The insights that she will provide, based on her assessment of our coaching stipend, will benefit all of our programmatic staff.” 
• Fellow Brighton (Class 41, Zimbabwe) encourages leaders to approach DEI as a transformative process that centers on human impact, rather than policies and numbers: "The post pandemic era requires a point of convergence that is going to change the trajectory of human history especially when it comes to diversity and inclusion. This is an opportunity that calls for transformative leaders to inspire their spheres of influence." 
• I encourage you to stay updated on our Community by visiting our blog, where you can also read more about Lorna’s work and Brighton's blog.

 Together, WE are Atlas Corps! Thank you for the support, enthusiasm, and energy. Let’s keep moving forward together!

Cheers-

Abby
