| U.S. Fellows: By the fifth year of the Atlas Corps, Fellows will be taken from the United States to volunteer in CSOs overseas. The format and logistics would be similar to the International Fellows in that volunteers will receive training and a living stipend while they worked in an CSO overseas to gain valuable experience and a global perspective. Employee Exchanges: As part of the U.S. Fellow program, citizen sector organizations will be sought to do employee exchanges. By identifying similar organizations in the U.S. and abroad, an exchange could be established between employees. For example, a youth serving nonprofit in the U.S. will nominate a rising leader in their organization who was willing to volunteer for a year at an CSO overseas with the promise that his/her job would still be there for them when they return. This individual will be matched with a foreign youth serving CSO that will also nominate a rising leader to volunteer in the U.S. for a year. These two individuals will then participate in an exchange through Atlas Corps and each organization will pay the partner cost-share to cover the living stipend and expenses for each Fellow. While each employee will take a pay cut for the year, they will gain valuable experience without the risk of losing a current position. The organizations will save money on salary (since the partner cost share would be less than the employees salary) and they will gain a better-trained, more motivated employee with a new overseas perspective. South-South Exchange: By the tenth year of the Atlas Corps, we will introduce a south-south exchange, where Fellows will go from any developing country in the world to any other developing country that is part of the Atlas Corps network. |
