Coming on staff with GoCorps as your next step... Here's what you need to know!
Joining GoCorps staff for one or more years is a great way to make a transition back to the US! As a GoCorps alumni, you are uniquely positioned to be a mobilizer and mission coach with GoCorps. You have followed God to the nations and joined his work. You have grown in your faith and in your calling, and now God's calling you back to the United States.
Over the years, some of our best staff have been alumni... people just like you! Joining the GoCorps staff team will give you the opportunity to tell your story and the story of people and place where you served. By telling your story at church, campus and conference events, you'll be able to help more students and young adults learn about ways that they could be a Goer. As a coach, you'll be able to walk alongside interested students in their discernment and sending process. A staff position with GoCorps is a practical way for you to help and encourage others to go to where you have been, to experience and grow in the ways you have grown and to see themselves as a Goer!
As a GoCorps staff member, you'll grow in public speaking, life and career coaching, written communication and in prayer. Further, there are other special projects and ways that you can use your specific skill-sets and passions as a part of the overall work of GoCorps through our work teams of marketing, design, advancement, events, trainings and staff development.
This is what the process of transitioning from being a Goer to GoCorps staff looks like:
