ABOUT US

Our Promise

We’re here to help you discover your place in the world with the tools, connections, and support you need. You’re not here to fit a program – the program is here for you. We see each person’s unique mix of strengths, passions, and experiences, and we’re dedicated to empowering confident leaders who make a meaningful impact for the Kingdom of God.

Your Path to Purpose

The School of Inspiration, Innovation & Influence combines knowing God and the Bible with insights into the Biblical worldview and the various spheres of influence in society. You will develop essential communication skills, receive leadership training, and engage in hands-on entrepreneurial experiences, including internships in real-world settings alongside professionals in your field of interest.

Upon completion, students will fulfill the requirements of a YWAM Discipleship Training School (DTS), making them eligible to pursue a full degree with the University of the Nations (U of N, www.uofn.edu).

Finnish-speaking students can also earn a Finnish Further Qualification in Entrepreneurship, receiving a certificate for their entrepreneurial competence. Other students will study the same material, undergo formal assessments, and be awarded a Finnish Diploma for Entrepreneurs, which opens pathways to further studies.

Experiences from previous schools: 
 

I’m SO glad that i decided to join Ywam Ruurikkala. Over these 9 months, I grew and learned so much. I joined an amazing group that helped me find myself and feel at home. I explored new art forms, made lasting friendships, and discovered my purpose. This school was clearly God’s plan for me, and I’m grateful for the confidence and experiences I gained. Thank you to everyone at School of III for an unforgettable journey!
