1. Nice to meet you!
Thanks for taking this Kumveka interest survey! You are giving us an opportunity to learn more about you and explore how we might work together in the future.
Kumveka is made up of creative professionals all around the world who want to use their professional skills and experiences in a ‘non-traditional’ missions context. This is truly not for everyone. We work with limited resources. We are constantly learning what it means to communicate effectively across cultures (and have made our fair share of mistakes in doing so!). We go from discussing cultural nuances in the Middle East to color schemes in China. We meet with ministry clients at crazy hours of the day (or night!). And, occasionally, we get the incredible privilege to travel overseas to see the hands and feet of Christ in action.
We have three avenues for you to plug in:
•Freelancers – If you are a creative professional and your livelihood derives from freelance or contract work, then we would ask you to explore joining our freelance team. We pay a non-profit rate based on the annual AIGA survey (for most positions). We guarantee you won’t get rich. But you will have lots of fun AND get to use your gifts building His kingdom!
•Volunteers – If you are a creative professional and have the financial freedom to offer your giftings pro bono… Wow. Great! We still put you through the same filter as any paid team members (see below). And all your coffee is free.
•Interns – Our 2012 intern program will begin Summer 2012. For the right candidates, we will continue this program throughout the year. All intern positions are unpaid. But the fun guarantee above does apply. And you will learn an unbelievable amount about missions, the global church, and finding your calling.
Our process for determining if we have the right fit begins here with our interest survey.
