GoCorps helps Christian young adults tithe their time and talents by using their degree in two-year global placements serving with long-term missions teams and projects. Those that tithe their career, we call them Goers, serve in places with limited gospel witness and follow Christ’s example of living incarnationally, ministering as a learner, servant, friend, story-teller and worshiper.

Over the last decade, authors Paul Van Der Werf and Katy White have pioneered the concept of Tithe Your Career through their leadership of GoCorps, an organization that has coached thousands of college students and placed hundreds of recent grads to use their degrees alongside long-term missional teams and projects globally. Paul founded GoCorps after tithing his business degree in Amsterdam’s Red Light District serving in a Christian Youth Hostel and has spent the last twenty years building better ways for ordinary Christians of all majors to tithe their career. A journalism major from Texas, Katy’s mentored and coached hundreds of college students and recent grads, and is a sought-after consultant on how to best understand, lead and develop Gen Z. In Tithe Your Career, their insight and experience shapes a fun and compelling read for anyone who is wondering how to make the most of their twenties.

Only 7% of the world's population has a college degree... how will you use yours?
Tithing your career isn't about your money, it's about stewarding your time and talents. If you're a recent grad, God has blessed you with 20+ years of life and learning. So, tithing your education is two years: 20 years X 10% = 2 years. Tithing your career means investing the first two years of your career in God's global work.
