A Robust, Varied Skill Set
The OVC curriculum is designed to help students acquire a strong and goal-oriented skill set, an interdisciplinary understanding, and practical steps for serving vulnerable children.
In two specialized monitoring and evaluation classes, you will consult with local and global organizations, join in the data collecting and analysis process, and discover data-informed techniques that will help you best assess the quality of care intervention.
Our students also receive technical training in grant writing, policy development, and intervention. They explore topics such as family systems, intercultural awareness, disaster relief, and the impact of violence and trauma on children. This range of knowledge will equip our graduates to serve non-profit, missions, non-governmental (NGO), or governmental work as they feel called.
Together, these OVC classes will help you become aware of culture and power differences through theological and ethical views of vulnerability, and attain technical skills such as competence in care, research, and policy.
