[general_devel] Amazing opportunity for NGO professionals

[Meredith Newmark]

Dear General Development Information and Events,
Thank you for your continued support of Atlas Corps! Our application
is now open for our next class of the Atlas Corps Fellowship, and we
need your help spreading the word to outstanding nonprofit leaders
around the world. We are recruiting both nonprofit professionals from
overseas to come to the U.S., as well as Spanish speakers from around
the world (including the U.S.) to go to Colombia, for our fellowship
program that develops leaders, strengthens organizations, and
promotes innovation to address critical social issues. We have
supported 164 nonprofit leaders from 52 different countries through a
year of service and training. Here's what Atlas Corps Fellow Sher
Sherzodbek (Uzbekistan, Class 5) had to say about his experience
serving at the U.S. International Center on Disabilities:

"I highly recommend Atlas Service Corps! The Fellowship is one of the
best programs for mid-level non-profit professionals from all over
the world aimed at bringing young leaders from other countries to the
US to learn and share their knowledge and services. [. . .] I
strongly believe that this opportunity [. . .] helps to mobilize and
sensitize the young leaders so that they will be able fully take part
in solving their problems, create environments, through
collaboration, that build strong, healthy youth who are proactive in
a complex and changing world."  

Can you help us engage and train other amazing leaders like Sher by
telling your friends and colleagues about Atlas Corps or posting our
call for applications on your website? We get most of our candidates
via word of mouth, either from social media or email forwards.

1) Can you please spread the word to candidates by emailing this
announcement to nonprofit leaders and other contacts that may be
interested?
