Atlas Corps Logo

Today, we are excited to announce Atlas Corps Class 12! These inspiring global leaders will officially join Atlas Corps on Tuesday, April 30, when they start Orientation Week. Our 12th Class continues our collaboration with the U.S. State Department with more Fellows from Sudan, supported by the Office of the Special Envoy for Sudan and South Sudan, and our first Fellow from Pakistan supported by the U.S. Embassy Islamabad, Pakistan. Now, I am pleased to announce that Atlas Corps is 164 Fellows from 52 countries. Join me in welcoming these dynamic leaders on Wednesday, May 8, at the Atlas Corps Class 12 Welcome Reception hosted by our friends at the Center for American Progress. Learn more and RSVP here.

We are also thrilled to welcome new Host Organizations and welcome back our returning partners. Our Host Organizations are fundamental to the Atlas Corps model.
