TEACHER'S AIDE INTERNSHIP


LOCATION
Kamulu, Kenya


TIMEFRAME
3 months

DESCRIPTION:

​As you have probably noticed, much of what we do at MADE IN THE STREETS involves education. When all is said and done, we are a school, and our students—all of whom are former street kids—are at the center of all our programs. As a Teacher's Aide, you will partner with us in the classroom to love and serve our students on a daily basis. 

Teacher's Aides spend their days in the Learning Centre (where all our classes are held). As a Teacher's Aide, your duties might vary greatly throughout the week, which keeps your time with us exciting. Though this role requires flexibility, the primary function is the same: to assist our teachers and administrators. This might look different on different days. For example, a Teacher's Aide might: 
  • tutor students one on one when they need extra attention or practice 
  • assist teachers with projects 
  • grade papers 
  • supervise make up exams or spelling tests 


MUST HAVE: ​
  • A personal relationship with Jesus Christ
  • Completed sophomore year of college or be 20 years old​
  • An approved COVID-19 vaccination
  • A positive attitude and willingness to work with people
  • Flexibility

​
EXPECTATIONS:
​
​1. Work with the Learning Centre Director and the rest of the Learning Centre staff to establish your weekly schedule. 
2. Write a monthly article, to be posted in the MITS blog, that highlights various aspects of your life in the classrooms and halls of the Learning Centre. 



FUNDRAISING:

​We provide you with fundraising tools and coaching to help you raise funds for your trip and recruit a team of supporters to be a part of this experience with you.
Amount: $3,500

ABOUT MISSION SPECIALISTS
"God allowed me to stand in awe of His wonder and His glory for three months. I am still processing all the ways I was affected and changed by my time at MITS. One thing that is certain is that God has opened my eyes to new aspects of His wonders and beauty 
in all aspects of His creation."
