General Volunteer Opportunities
In India:
We need help recruiting partners, funders, and Fellows. We need support developing our "India Program Board." Help us with our website, reaching out to media, connecting with schools, building a nominator network. We need pictures of volunteer leaders in India. We welcome feedback on the design and concept of the idea.
In Colombia:
We need help building the network, recruiting partners, Fellows and funders. If you speak Spanish, we need help with translators of documents. If you are in Colombia, volunteer directly with the Founder in his office to develop the organization on multiple levels.
In Washington, DC:
We need help recruiting Host nonprofit organizations, looking for office space (probably in another nonprofit), doing fundraising proposals, spreading awareness, etc. We need help from someone who is interested in developing the college network, or willing to do outreach to civic or religious organizations to become sponsors. We need help with the "DC Friends of Atlas Corps" group that serves as a welcoming committee for Fellows coming to Washington. The Friends of Atlas Corps group will do everything from helping find housing for the Fellows, taking them out to dinner in their first weeks in the U.S., organizing social events, providing support, answering questions of Fellows before they arrive. We are seeking volunteers for this committee now.
Virtually:
People anywhere in the world can help out with the Atlas Corps virtually if you'd like to help us develop our program. Ideally, we are looking for people willing to spend a few hours a month doing various tasks ranging from partner outreach, development, partner recruitment, Fellow recruitment, marketing, etc.
