Welcome friend!

“Welcome”—it is the theme of the last few weeks. In September, we welcomed Atlas Corps Class 22. In October, we welcomed 200+ emerging leaders as a partner of President Obama’s Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI). And, perhaps my most memorable, I welcomed my second child.

I am inspired by the positive change that is possible when you open your door, mind, and heart to new people and ideas. People move our world. People inspire positive impact. How do you welcome new ideas? What about opening your organization to new perspectives with a Fellow? Or, what about opening your schedule as an Atlas Corps volunteer? 

It is that simple. 

Ten years ago, I welcomed people around my dinner table to discuss the idea of sending emerging global leaders to the United States on a year of service. Now, we are a thriving network of more than 500 professionals from 79 countries who have served at 200 Host Organizations in the United States, Colombia, and Australia….and it is just the beginning! From being recognized by the United Nations to using tech for social change, our Fellows make achieving impact look simple. Read on to learn more!
