Talent Recruitment Specialist

Organizational Profile

The Global Orphan Project exists to break the orphan cycle through the power of community, commerce and the love of Jesus. Setting traditional institutional orphan care models aside, we’re connecting a global family united by a shared vision to care for children and vulnerable families along the entire spectrum: Orphan Prevention, Orphan Care, and Transition. Focusing on one child at a time, we provide sustainable, local, family-style care that is deeply rooted in compassion, hope and the belief that every child deserves a chance.

The Global Orphan Project is a nonprofit parent organization for three distinct initiatives–CarePortal, GOEX Apparel, and Strong Family–uniting all three under a collective mission, vision, and values.
