Careers
Are you seeking a job where you can combine your professional background with a life-changing mission or do you know someone else who is?
Working at An Open Door
There are more than 153 million children in the world who have lost at least one parent, and there are 8 million children living in orphanages — not counting those also living on the streets or trafficked as slaves. Every year, there are also thousands of birth parents who face the incredibly hard decision to place their child with the best family possible. What a humbling privilege it is to be there for these children and families.
Our mission is to serve orphans, at-risk children, birth parents and adoptive couples with the love of Christ. If you are looking for an environment that combines your professional skills with a life-changing mission, consider joining our team. We would love to speak to you about serving with us!
