Issues

Atlas Corps Fellows will address a wide variety of issues, but will focus on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (UN MDGs), as well as human rights. In particular, Atlas Corps will partner with U.S. citizen sector organizations (CSOs) and seek Fellows who are addressing Hunger/Poverty, Education, Gender Equity, Health, the Environment and Human Rights. These issues represent UN MDGs 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7. The eighth and final MDG - to develop a global partnership for development - is at the core of the Atlas Corps mission.
