WHO ATTENDS THE INSTITUTE?
Emerging Leaders
The Institute helps young leaders in college and recent High School grads who desire to develop a Christian worldview while equipping them with leadership skills to help impact their generation.
International Leadership Students
The Institute receives qualified candidates from other countries to go through its training each year.
Youth Ministry College Majors and Minors
The Institute for Global Youth Studies works in cooperation with
Christian colleges and universities to provide quality educational
opportunities for students who desire to become involved in
professional youth work as a career choice.
Youth Ministers
Youth Ministry in the United States is still a young profession. The
Institute desires to provide continuing education for youth ministers who are already in full-time and part-time positions. The Institute offers both semester-long and short-term courses.
Candidates for the Youth Mentors Abroad Program
The Institute provides training for those who desire to work with youth abroad for a year or more. The mentoring program prepares these mentor candidates, most often during their college years. The 1 or 2-year overseas experience is best suited for those who have finished their college education. Some exceptions are granted.
Seminary Students
Seminary credit has been arranged for Institute graduates who desire to spend a year abroad mentoring youth leaders as part of their seminary training. These seminary students will be assigned a seminary supervisor
in cooperation with the Institute while they serve abroad.
