FAQ's
We first select Sending Partners that are mission organizations with a strong history and reputation and that share the priority of sharing the gospel in word and deed among the least reached globally.
But the most important part of the process of selecting which placements are on our placement list is hand-selecting the individual teams. Our belief is that the biggest factor in determining whether a placement is a good landing spot for a young adult is the team leader. We look for gifted and proven team leaders who have the capacity and desire to mentor and disciple recent grads as a part of their mission team and project.
Fundraising is where we save most of the time. Our fundraising process is 3 months rather than the one-year industry average! There are a few main components to help ensure fundraising success:
- Limit the amount of monthly support to be an average of $3000/mo
- One week of in-person, professional, interactive fundraising training
- Fundraising is Goers ‘full-time job’ during fundraising
- Set a deadline and have weekly accountability and coaching with their fundraising coach
This is done through each individual sending partner. In general, Goers attend anywhere from 2-8 weeks of cross-cultural training before they launch. But the key to Goers being prepared and successful is the leadership and mentoring they receive on the field. ‘On the job’ training from gifted and experienced leaders is how we are able to get Goers overseas and they are able to learn and grow in effective cross-cultural communication and ministry throughout their two-year commitment.
Absolutely! We would love to be a closely aligned post-grad option for you!
This is something unique that we can offer Goers. Mission agencies don’t have ‘re-entry' as a core skill-set or high value, but GoCorps does! We help Goers with re-entry in a variety of ways:
- Connections to ministries that can help with debriefing and coaching
- Practical marketplace and job search help such as resume writing/editing and training in storytelling and interviewing with a focus on communicating the connection between overseas service and the workplace
- Cohort of connecting with other Goers who are in transition for prayer and community
Our hope is to serve ministries that want to see more of their students and grads use their degrees on mission globally. We expect Level 3 Partners to be in regular communication and collaboration to cultivate a new and growing mission culture in your ministry. Our goal is to communicate and coordinate in an ongoing basis how we can help your ministry and your leaders mobilize better and better!
