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.

Mechanical Engineering Major

I knew I wanted to go overseas at some point in my life, I just wasn't sure when. GoCorps' challenge to tithe the first fruits of my career & how easy their excellent coaches make the process of finding & choosing a placement made it obvious to me that God was saying "go now." (Jul.

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!

Mariana
Nursing Major
Medical Track, Bulgaria
A big reason of why I wanted to serve with a ministry for my first two years of work was because I wanted to build the foundation of my working life on biblical principles with people who were like-minded and would point me to Christ, both enlarging and focusing my sights on God.
