Join us
ATD Fourth World supports people from all backgrounds to stand up united to respect the dignity of all people. All of us can be part of this work in our daily lives. Want to work to build a better world? There are many ways you can contribute.
Become an Ally
ATD Fourth World Allies are people from all walks of life who choose to stand in solidarity with families living in extreme poverty. Through volunteering, organizing, fundraising, advocacy, and community outreach, they help strengthen the movement and invite others to join in building a society where no one is left behind.
Learn
Change starts from shifting our perspective. Learn from the life of people with experience of poverty and share their knowledge with people around you. Sign up for our newsletter, follow us on social media, read United Nations position papers, and learn from our research and publications.
Share
Strength and impact grow when people’s work comes together. Let us know about the efforts you are part of to overcome poverty and collaborate with us. Build partnerships with individuals and organizations working to fight poverty.
Volunteer
Being together by working together makes it real. Our local teams in New York and New Mexico welcome volunteers to help out with the local projects. You can read books to the children at Story Garden, celebrate #EndPoverty Day together, and join the discussion at People’s University.
