Through our partnership with River of Life church, students gain hands-on ministry experience through practicums. Practicums are classes that students enroll in through Southeastern University where they earn college credit for the hands-on training they receive at River Leadership Collective. Students are able to focus on 1-2 areas of training at a time. All new students will take a “First-Year Practicum” their first semester.
