Compensation

The salary for this position is “support-based.” This means that similar to most OMF (U.S.) based Mobilization Personnel; the Director of College Mobilizers is asked to raise the budget for the position’s salary. This is done by forming a Partnership Team that provides the financial resources and prayers necessary to serve as in such a role. Going through Partnership Development as a homeside staff member decreases the amount of finances that cross-cultural missionaries need to contribute to the U.S. ministry. The salary range for this position is need-based, generally between $2,000 and $4,000 per month. OMF International will provide training and mentorship to facilitate the Partnership Development process.
