Service Fundraisers

Offer a service and ask for sponsors or payment. Some examples include:

Sponsor a Week of Church Lawn Maintenance

Members are asked to sponsor a week of church-lawn maintenance–the service being provided by the youth. Matching funds were also obtained.

Each year, part of the funds are set aside for a) attending District Camp and youth gatherings, etc.; b) some improvement of the church’s facility (e.g. new sign); and c) for the National Youth Gathering.

Parents Night Out

Once a month (first Saturday of every month) or so, host a parents’ night out where the youth group watches the kids and lets mom and dad go out on one of those needed romantic dates. Make sure you have a sign-up so that you know how many youth you need to baby-sit and set time frames and cost per kid (or family). Then set up lots of activities for the kids you are watching and they will want to come back each month.

A variation of this is Christmas Day Out where you do the same thing so mom and/or dad can do some Christmas shopping without the kids.

Vocation Growing Up – Encouraging Youth Leadership

“We want to build up teens who are willing to serve in the church, and as appropriate, might consider careers in professional church work. As we seek to encourage young people in their faith journeys, the most beneficial things we can offer them are opportunities to get involved with service and leadership in the church. When done the right way, this allows youth to feel valued and deeply connected to the Body of Christ.”
