Vision: A truly global citizen sector where best practices, talent, and services cross borders with ease to efficiently and effectively serve the needs of the world community through international partnerships and collaboration. Atlas Corps seeks to strengthen the world's citizen sector through international exchanges building global social capital. Scale: In ten years Atlas Corps hopes to have approximately 1,000+ Fellows from at least twenty different countries around the world and from years 10-20, expect to grow from 1,000 to 10,000 Fellows every year. Once a Fellow of Atlas Corps, these individuals have the opportunity to continue to participate in the network to support each other's work. We also define scale by the impact our Fellows have in their country and how many people their Fellowship year influences in the United States , in their home country and in other countries of other Fellows. For more information, please read the PDF On Scale U.S. Fellows: In our second year, we decide to pilot a model of taking U.S. Fellows overseas with three Fellows going to Bogota, Colombia. 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 and the Host would pay a cost share that covers the majority of the expenses. 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 fifth 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.
