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.

I highly recommend serving in a foreign cultural context for all young adults. Living outside my comfort zone forced me to rely on God. During these times God molded my heart working in me more than I feel through me.

In my experience, GoCorps was incredibly valuable in helping me fundraise and navigating the support process. They spend an immense amount of time training and researching in order to truly guide and encourage the goer towards their goal.
