IJM Leader Expectations

IJM chapter leaders are expected to exemplify the IJM team’s three core values:

1. Christian: Be pursuing a growing relationship with Jesus by seeking him in the Word, prayer, a local church, and obedience. Growth, not perfection, is the expectation. 2. Professional: Pursue excellence in fulfilling your responsibilities as a leader. Be reliable and responsive to communications. 3. Bridge-building: Learn constantly from others. Invite people and organizations to collaborate toward the mission of ending modern slavery for good.

Structures That Work

A strong leadership team is the foundation of a thriving student club. Your team’s structure can be flexible—based on the strengths, interests, and availability of your members.

*Some schools may require specific roles like President or Treasurer, so be sure to check your university’s guidelines.

We encourage you to thoughtfully and prayerfully consider how to organize your team. Below are leadership models to help guide your setup.
