The first ATD Volunteer Corps members to work outside Europe came to North America in 1964. Today, our North American regional team coordinates six teams based in the United States and Canada. We also have permanent representation at the United Nations in New York.
There is also a network of friends and supporters across the region.
We also have contact with people through the Forum on Overcoming Extreme Poverty and the Tapori Children’s Network.
