“I am proud to be honored as a Citizen Diplomat and hope this award will put a spotlight on the Atlas Corps Fellowship and highlight how important it is that we serve side by side with people from around the world to address critical social issues,” Beale says.

“Everyone, in the U.S. and around the world, has the capacity and the opportunity to make the world a better place by building bridges across cultures and countries and pursuing our common aspiration to create a world with a cleaner environment, more social justice, less hunger and poverty and free from disease and war.”
