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.
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.

One of the major draws of GoCorps for me was that I could develop my professional skills while serving overseas. Two years felt like a huge time commitment at first, but it really does fly by, and you'll come out a different person -- in the best way!

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.

My time with GoCorps was challenging, growing, exciting, and overall life-giving. The one-on-one coaching and meetings were super helpful in expressing fears, anxieties, and the excitement that comes along with thinking about moving overseas.

For anyone that is considering going with GoCorps I would say, when you follow what God has for you, everything else will fall into place. Is it scary? Yes. Will there be times that you question what you got yourself into? Yes.
