Atlas Service Corps

To address critical social issues, Atlas Corps develops leaders, strengthens organizations and promotes innovation through an overseas fellowship of skilled professionals.

The Atlas Corps will be a values-based organization creating a strong international network of emerging citizen sector leaders who share a common drive to advance the larger good.

Scott Beale is the founder of Atlas Service Corps and an experienced social entrepreneur who has worked in four continents, with citizen, government and business leaders from around the world. Scott founded Atlas Corps in March 2006 to be an innovative, sustainable and scalable way for revolutionizing international volunteerism. In 2007, the organization's pilot year, Atlas brought six dynamic, citizen sector leaders from Colombia and India to Washington, DC. In the last three years, Atlas Corps has facilitated fellowships and placements in host organizations for 22 Fellows, both to the U.S. and from the U.S.

 Atlas Corps facilitates international fellowships for the best of the world's rising leaders. They volunteer at outstanding organizations addressing social issues and are enrolled in an ongoing training program. After 12 or 18 months, they return to their countries to work for at least one year (and usually their entire career) back in the nonprofit sector, sharing new skills, best practices, valuable experiences and a global network of changemakers.

Vision: A truly global nonprofit 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.
