“I always wanted to know that whatever I did for a career, I could leave work knowing I've made a difference in the world. To find that opportunity at World Vision has been awesome!”

Advocacy & Government Relations
“Our benefits package is amazing. I am grateful to have such broad health coverage and support.”
“God gave me a passion for both Latin America and the United States. One reason I chose to work at World Vision is because they work in both these contexts. Though I focus on policy work in the U.S., I've also had opportunities to help children in Latin America.”
“My work with World Vision has shown me how important it is for our young people to understand that the United States is part of a much larger world.”

Amy P.
Media Relations
“When I stop and ask myself what I want to be doing, the answer is always that I want to be right where I am. I believe in what World Vision is doing, and I want to contribute to it. I don't know where else I'd go to do what I do now and still get so much meaning out of it.”
“Everyone on my team is at the top of their game, and it's really fun to work with a team like that. It's great to work with people you know are going to bring their A-game and push you to bring your A-game too.”
“Because I'm growing spiritually alongside my teammates, I think that we're better connected to the work that World Vision is doing and our own roles in support of that.”

Human Resources
“World Vision creates opportunities for people to grow. All you need is the desire. World Vision is really good at shepherding that desire and asking what you need to get where you want to go professionally.”
“One thing I love about sponsorship is that it doesn't just help one child—it helps the whole community, and it has a long-term impact.”
“Coming to World Vision, I was aware that there is hunger in the world and that there are children dying in infancy, but it's different when you hear about it every day. It's a reminder of my role as a Christian, and it's really changed who I am.”

Information Technology
“I worked as a programmer for a large professional company, but as my faith grew and deepened, I realized that I would prefer applying the skills God gave me toward something more aligned with my beliefs.”

“In my work, I see suffering through photos, videos, and stories. It can be hard to absorb, but I think God uses the pain as a motivator. It makes me want to work harder in my own small way to make life better for children.”
“I feel so fortunate to have a supportive group of work colleagues that I can pray with—even as we draw from diverse denominational backgrounds.”
“Since I came to World Vision, I've learned a ton about long-form journalism, magazine architecture and design, and educational publishing. And I'm still learning! Digital publishing and social media are changing the landscape of what I do in exciting ways.”

“In the corporate world, it's often survival of the fittest. But here, people pray for and encourage each other.”
“I really appreciate the flexibility here. World Vision cares about helping everyone, so if you have an emergency or a sick family member, they'll work with you, because it's like family here.”
“What excites me about my job is the fact that it enables me to be a complete person by letting me make Christianity a lifestyle—even at work. I don't have to worry about what Corporate will say if I invoke the name of Christ at work.”

Gifts in Kind
“I came to World Vision after realizing how wonderful it would be to take all my skills and use them, not just to earn money or make a profit, but to contribute to a mission.”
“The most interesting aspect of my job is the end-to-end supply chain. It's very exciting to see something through from beginning to end—from procuring goods from corporations, to distributing them in the field, to reporting back to our donors.”
“I work with a very diverse group of people, made up of World Vision employees from around 40 different countries. It's really interesting to work with a team with such a broad range of backgrounds.”

“When I interviewed at World Vision, I was pleased to find that there were people here like me—professionals who came from the for-profit world—actively utilizing their education and expertise to help kids.”
“World Vision is a very intellectually challenging environment, and that allows me to leverage my skills while also honing and growing them.”
“I can't imagine a working environment outside of World Vision that would resonate so strongly with who I am and my Christian beliefs, while still exuding such professionalism.”

“I'm from the Philippines, but all of my family members are in the States now. I felt that sponsoring a little girl from the Philippines was a unique way to add to my family and keep a tie with the Philippines.”
“I've been able to foster my creativity here. I started as a designer and worked my way up to Senior Designer. The experiences I've had along the way have pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me to be creative in a different way.”
“I love having the opportunity to influence others—to draw from my own experience and share my knowledge with the junior designers to help them see things differently.”

“I love the consultant role we play in finance—being able to come alongside the really creative people that we have here at World Vision and work with them to make sure they’re able to do their job while maintaining our financial accountability and transparency.”

“The thing I love most about my job is talking with the donors. Our donors are just amazing, and they touch my heart all the time.”

“Working for World Vision has changed the way I look at everything. Before, I thought I knew a little bit about the poor, but now, my eyes have been opened up to so much more.”

“I have tremendous opportunities to participate in innovation. My IT team is able to take things that already exist in the industry and repurpose them in really exciting ways.”
“The most unexpected thing about working for World Vision is that, when I came here, I expected to be serving others, but I consistently find that I am the recipient of more blessing than I could ever give.”
“I love working at World Vision, and I am confident that the people who work here are called to be here. I am confident that God has gifted people and prepared them to work here. What could be better than to discover that this is God's calling for your life?”
