I first heard about Atlas Service Corps from one of the two men at a Women Advancing Microfinance event in Chicago, Namit Roy. They’re a great social sector organization with fellows (kind of like Ashoka) supporting social enterprises around the world. Here are some upcoming events from an email list I’m on.
About them:
Atlas Corps is a completely new kind of social venture taking a new approach to facilitate international cooperation in the citizen sector. As you learn more about Atlas Corps, We hope you find ways that you can get involved as a Partner, a Fellow, a Volunteer or a Supporter. One of the fundamental underlining beliefs of Atlas Corps is that the problems we face in this world are too big to ignore, too overwhelming not to work together to address. It is our opportunity, our responsibility, to find new ways to address global issues such as poverty, health, gender equity and the environment. We must accept our roles as global citizens, and work in union to achieve a brighter tomorrow.
Happy networking!
