The Office of Spiritual Life and Mission (OSLM) partners with Adventist Volunteer Services to fill service calls all over the world. Students may serve nationally as Task Force Workers (TFW), or globally as Student Missionaries (SM). The Missions Coordinator will guide students through finding a call, completing the application process and all required trainings. There are opportunities for almost every vocation. Please email oslife@oakwood.edu for more information or visit www.hesaidgo.org to begin browsing available opportunities. The SM must meet the following academic requirements:
-
Applicants must have attained at least sophomore standing (minimum 30 semester hours) with a cumulative grade point average of C or above, and no grade below C in all English composition and grammar courses.
-
Applicants must have a B average or above in the subject area that they are expected to teach as student missionaries.
Additionally, since most opportunities require the Task Force Workers (TFW) and Student Missionaries (SM) to cover their own transportation costs to and from the host organization, fundraising is a requirement. OSLM does not provide transportation costs. The TFW and SM are expected to attend fundraising trips organized by OSLM throughout the school year.
