Over the last eight years, through the collaborative efforts of the EveryCampus coalition to mobilize prayer, partnership, and planting, we’ve seen that number drop to only ~450 remaining “No-Known-Ministry” campuses! The Catalyze team is InterVarsity’s primary organizational strategy to invest in this missional gap in the hopes that by 2030 there would be “no campus left” in the country without a known gospel movement! GOALS Our team will pursue three key goals over the next two years: - Our “countdown” goal is to reduce the # of NKM campuses from ~450 to 300 by June 2028. - Our cumulative “countup” goals are as follows (July 24-June 28):1 - Plant & sustain 75 new InterVarsity chapters - Confirm and/or Resource 250 Independent Groups STRATEGIES In pursuit of these goals, Catalyze staff will employ a variety of strategies, including: - Digital Research on a portfolio of ~15-30+ NKM campuses (prorated based on hours) - Remote connection & resourcing with Independent Groups - Multi-faceted lead generation to identify prospects with capacity to start something new - Coaching partners to start new ministry on NKM campuses EXPECTATIONS We hope to recruit ~15-20 new staff who would join our existing Catalyze team to: - Spend at least 4-8 hours/week in the Catalyze team/initiative (see below for rhythms) - Commit to 2 years on the team, including ministry years 26-27 and 27-28. - Participate in weekly Catalyze team calls which will alternate between team meetings & “office hours” co-working space. - Participate in a team retreat in tandem with SC27.

Accordingly, compensation will vary based on the ability of the individual to secure a donor team to fund the cost of his/her salary. The anticipated salary range for this position on a full-time basis (40 hours/week) is dependent on a variety of factors, including location and cost of living. The actual salary received, including any geographic adjustment to account for location and cost of living, is subject to the individual’s ability to raise funds necessary to cover the full amount of such salary within the range set forth in the job posting details.
