Children at Risk School (CRS)

Fees:
The breakdown of fees for the school are as follows:

Youth With A Mission San Diego/Baja will run a 9 month Children at Risk School (CRS) January 3rd 2011. Raising awareness, giving basic skills, and mobilizing workers to reach at-risk children are our goals. The CRS is a University of the Nations (UofN) accredited course earning 12 credits for the 3 month lecture phase and 12-24 credits for the 3-6 month field assignment.
The school focuses on disenfranchised children, such as orphans, street children, the handicapped and abused. The course content will be taught by ministry and social service professionals experienced in helping at-risk children. The CRS is for those who want to become advocates for at-risk children. This school will multiply leaders who in turn will champion the cause of children through social, political, judicial and spiritual intervention. Students experience God’s heart for justice, defending the cause of the fatherless, rescuing the poor, the weak and the oppressed. It also has an emphasis on human trafficking and will work regularly in the red light district of Tijuana throughout the lecture phase for hands on experience during the course.
Topics covered during the school may be:
· Overview of the issues and needs of at-risk children
· Biblical worldview of children and their development
· Principles of child advocacy
· Assessment and evaluation
· Attachment disorders
· The institutionalized child
· Child development
· God's heart for justice and children
· Child counseling
· Evangelism/creativity
· Health care
· Discovering your potential
· HIV/AIDS
· Restoration of a generation
VISION
Children are the most vulnerable group in any society. The Children at Risk school equips you with the necessary skills to rescue and restore the fatherless, forgotten and oppressed children among the nations. Be challenged in your relationship with God, find your purpose in the Great Commission, and embark with us on the adventure!

Children at Risk / Field Assignment
An integral part of the CRS is the three to six-month field assignment, during which students work with ministries, government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGO's) and other YWAM programs that serve needy children. This field assignment gives students opportunities to test principles and skills learned in the classroom. Through continued research, case studies of individual children and planning in implementing a project, the students further develop their skills for serving the needy.
Where will I go?
The field assignment will be decided once the school begins.
