What We Do
GoCorps works to make two years of global missional service a normalized, accessible next step to Christian students and young professionals of all majors and backgrounds. We place motivated recent grads to use their degree alongside long-term projects sharing the hope of Christ and addressing physical needs, healing and opportunity
3.14 billion people are "unreached" by the gospel
65% of the world live in religiously restricted areas
1.45 billion people in the world live in poverty
The Opportunity
God is already at work. And we see new ways to join him.
Skill-Based Placements
Traditional missionaries with Bible degrees often have difficulty acquiring visas in regions with the least access to the gospel. A more strategic method is placing people with practical skills and applied degrees–in medicine, engineering, business, job creation, IT, education, social work, and more–to serve in gospel roles.
Two-Year Placements
We believe in the strategy of two-year placements. We consider it the sweet spot for most grads, between the open-ended commitment of long-term service and the limited influence of short-term trips. Two years is long enough to meaningfully engage in a culture and become conversational in the local language, both key factors to making significant contributions to long-term projects.

They make a real impact spiritually and physically in the local community where they serve. And after their two years, our alumni possess a clearer understanding of their calling and vocation, and are equipped and inspired to live missionally wherever their journey takes them. Goer alumni are in all areas of the marketplace, both in the US and globally!

I am so thankful that I got connected with GoCorps! They made narrowing down the vast pool of teams and organizations so much easier. The staff at GoCorps truly care about their Goers and are committed to partnering with us.

GoCorps is unique in the way that it streamlines the ministry application process: instead of choosing a mission organization and seeing how it fits you, you begin with your skills/strengths and discover where you can help fill a pre-existing need.

Two years sounds like a daunting amount of time to commit, but its so valuable and the time flies by really fast! I appreciated the support raising models and how I did it in a few months vs. years.

The GoCorps training was so helpful! I knew I wanted to go overseas but didn't know how to get going. GoCorps helped me get connected and out there. They walked alongside me through the whole process. I followed their fundraising model and was fully funded in 40 days!
