Though we wish they could live with us forever, we don't have the space to house our students after they turn eighteen - and we are so excited for them to be sent out to continue their New Life.

Just like in the United States, MITS students must leave the nest and support themselves in "the real world" after graduation from our program. Because these amazing MITS students are being sent back into the World as new young adults, we called this aspect of the program - INTO THE WORLD.
Our student affairs staff carefully counsels students on life after MITS and records each student's life story, allowing students to state what was learned and how each has grown during their time at MITS. We help each student create a resume and coach them through professionalism and interview skills. We also help them find internships (called "attachments" in Kenya) in their chosen skill area. If our students are reliable workers and demonstrate a desire to excel, these internships frequently turn into steadily paying jobs. MITS assists with monthly rent until students have settled into paying jobs. INTO THE WORLD Staff members frequently visit recent graduates to encourage them, counsel them, attend new churches with them, and praise them for their successes. The INTO THE WORLD program even hosts a weekly gathering in downtown Nairobi each Sunday night specifically designed for MITS Graduates and their friends. Above all, we encourage a life of faith in God. We train and equip our students to be Bible study leaders, so they can remain connected to a faith community after they move away from Kamulu. It is our vision that every MITS graduate is a spiritual leader in their community, making disciples and living out the message of Christ: that He has made all things new! |
ONGOING EDUCATION
HOPE SCHOOL OF LEADERSHIP
HOPE SCHOOL OF LEADERSHIP
Many of our graduates are eager to continue learning and gaining skills that will benefit them in life after graduation. Those students are eligible to enroll in HOPE School of Leadership.
HOPE School of Leadership is an online school for young men and women who are capable, motivated learners but would benefit from an alternative to the traditional university system. HOPE School makes it possible for young people to continue their education while working full time, without having to travel to a brick-and-mortar campus for classes. Students are able to continue their education using their mobile phone or laptop and have the freedom and flexibility to complete course assignments as their schedule allows. HOPE School offers a two-year degree in 21st Century Christian Leadership, a Christ-centered general studies degree that will equip young men and women to lead a life of Christian service within their families, their communities and their chosen profession. Our mission is to empower students to study globally with the purpose of leading locally.
