Graphic Designer

Organizational Profile:

The Global Orphan Project (GO Project) is the redemptive quest of a community of strategic Kingdom investors joining forces in a shared Mission: to break the orphan cycle through the power of community, commerce, and the love of Jesus.  The essential cell of civilization is the family.  The breakdown of family has created an orphan crisis and weakened local communities across the world.  Leveraging the greatest care distribution network on the planet, the local church, GO Project innovates, creates, and implements collective impact platforms to strengthen children and families in crisis, at scale, to advance our Mission.     

GO Project is also a Christian non-profit organization, the backbone parent company to our flagship collective impact platforms: CarePortal, a care-sharing platform that drives action for local kids and families in crisis; Strong Family, a family strengthening training and technology platform that is scaling in the developing world; and GOEX, our fair-trade certified apparel and artisan platform that keeps families together through the dignity of work.  GO Project provides overall enterprise leadership and support to our signature platforms, a professional suite of business services, which include marketing, communications, finance, human resources, facilities, compliance, information systems and technology - as well as an emerging development capability to support diverse revenue streams across the GO Project enterprise.
