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 grateful for the way GoCorps has worked patiently with with me as my original placement fell through and I had to wait and trust God with where to go next.

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.

Nursing major
Medical Track, Philippines
Personally, the last two years serving with GoCorps have been transformational. My love for Jesus and passion for the gospel have been ignited even more, and taking part in growing the Kingdom of God by loving people of a different culture has been the greatest gift.
Isabel
Psychology Major
Teaching Track, Mexico
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!
