WELCOME

Welcome to our web-site!  If you are new to Co-Serve, let us introduce ourselves... Co-Serve International is a non-profit organization based in Oregon that works globally to help develop leaders that serve others. We believe our world is in great need of leaders who are willing to live with integrity and according to core values of people and relationships. Such leaders recognize that life's purpose and meaning is not about being served, but it is about the opportunity to give your life to serve others. This kind of "servant leadership" involves helping people to know their authentic self, their value and potential, and that they have a unique purpose in this world. It also recognizes that people come to life when they can live out their purpose and potential in authentic and meaningful connection with others in community. Our mission is about being a community that practices and teaches servant leadership while working to empower and connect other communities who are engaged in a similar work. We are thankful for 7 partner communities around the world who are currently partnering with us in this work.

OREGON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

Fifteen students from Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Nigeria participated in our 2024 Servant Leadership Academy for 16 days in Oregon in July. In both Portland and Sisters, the students visited and experienced 13 amazing examples of servant leadership while they considered their own purpose in life.

BUSINESS IMMERSION

Currently on-going, four students who completed the Oregon Academy have joined a student from Afghanistan for Co-Serve's Education through Business Immersion (EBI) program in Oregon. This program immerses students in the daily life and work of organizations that are practicing servant leadership.
