Without partnership between the CCO and local community organizations, there would be little or no ministry on many area campuses. Besides campus ministry positions, local organizations provide a variety of opportunities for CCO staff to have daily interaction with college students, from local coffee shops to coordinating volunteer programs.
Our community organization partners enjoy the following advantages by working with us:
- Because of our extensive network, the CCO is able to find many strong, highly motivated potential staff people.
- The CCO shares funding: the community organization is responsible for half of the funding for the position, and the CCO will facilitate raising the balance of the staff person’s financial needs.
- There is mutual agreement upon a job description. Our staff members are accountable to a job description that is developed, approved and overseen by both a CCO Staff Director and an institutional supervisor. Both supervisors must agree to these specifics before a position is finalized.
- Supervision responsibilities for each staff person are shared between the community organization and a CCO Staff Director.
- There is no obligation to hire a staff person unless the community organization is completely satisfied. Both the CCO and the institution must agree upon the person to whom they offer a position, and that person is then free to accept or decline the position. This creates a positive and mutually-desired placement outcome.
The CCO is a campus ministry that partners with churches, colleges and organizations
