Get involved with Joshua Project
Joshua Project is a non-profit Christian ministry focused on gathering and distributing information about the world's least-reached ethnic people groups.
All Joshua Project staff raise their own personal support or are self-funded volunteers. We are unable to offer compensation to any volunteers. All these opportunities can be done remotely. We welcome inquiries regarding staff and volunteer opportunities.
People Group Researcher: In-depth, on-site people group research is urgently needed. Understanding a people group's worldview, culture and values is a critical first step in reaching a people group. Ethnographic surveys are needed to gather information, stories and perceptions that illustrate what is important about a culture. The Cultural Study Toolbox has been developed specifically as a guide for this kind of surveying. Helpful resources to get started:
- People Research Template: Short Long
- Cultural Study Toolbox: Contact Us
- Exploring the Land
- The Ethnographic Interview
Translator: Help translate Joshua Project resources and materials such as:
- Country names

If you can help, please contact us.
Be Radical: Help us translate the existing set of 366 Unreached People of the Day prayer profiles into a new language. Speakers of that language can then get the Unreached of the Day by mobile app or daily email. Please contact us.
Photo Researcher: Pictures of the people groups really help us connect with them in a special way. Help us in our ongoing search for people group photos.
What photos are needed?
- If there is a plain silhouette image on a people profile
- If there are missing thumbnails on country listings
- Largest unreached people groups needing photos
Photos ought to be:
- Close-up quality color images of individuals
- Representative of the people group and not very young or very old
- Have permission to use the image is a must
Be Radical: Try to find a photo for all the people groups in one or two countries that are missing one. Or what about doing some traveling to take an original photo of a people group or two?
