Youth Service Fund

What is it?

Youth Service Fund is an organization which collects donations and distributes them in support of mission projects focused on youth, locally in the Northwest Texas Conference as well as nationally and throughout the world. It is administered globally by the Division on Ministries with Young People within the General Board of Discipleship of The United Methodist Church; and locally by the Northwest Texas Conference Council on Youth Ministries (CCYM).  YSF provides a way for youth to be in real ministry with each other-not only do youth contribute money and receive the money for their ministry projects, but they also decide which projects are chosen. Youth Service Fund really is youth in ministry!

How does it work?

Beginning in 2012, ministries with, for, and by youth will be eligible to apply for grants from the YSF.  The CCYM will review all the project grant applications at a set time and then distribute the money to the groups, churches, organizations that have been approved. 

Where does the money come from?

YOU!The largest form of funding comes from benevolent giving from the local churches.  In addition, the CCYM will have offerings at conference events  like Annual Conference and En Fuego.
