training for skills like graphic design , computer engineering , and English language . Once students graduate , the center helps them find new employment opportunities and prepare for job interviews .
The unique thing about the Mentors International Center for Learning and Mentoring is how students qualify for classes . To pay for their courses , each student is required to perform 40 hours of service in his or her community to earn “ service currency .” As the students serve in schools , hospitals , orphanages , senior care centers , and other areas of the community , they simultaneously earn credits that can be used at the center , affording them the education they seek and making their communities better in the process .
To further the center ’ s mission , the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation ® provided financial support for training courses . With a center dedicated to providing accessible education , help from dōTERRA Healing Hands ® , and hardworking people who can hardly wait to use their education and training to give their families better lives , this Mentors International ® project is helping to break the cycle of poverty .
