The CYIA Student Financial Support Missionary Program

If you are over 14 years old or older, you are eligible to enter the CYIA Student Financial Support Missionary Program. This program allows you to receive a modest cash support per club you complete during the summer. It is designed to help defray basic costs associated with the 5DC program during the summer months. Some of these are gas costs, vehicle maintenance costs and replacement of other potential income students may rely on during the summer months.

WHAT DOES THE PROCESS LOOK LIKE?

APPLICATION FORM: After you receive your CYIA acceptance notification, you can fill out the online application for the CYIA Student Financial Support Missionary Program. This helps us organize the students who are in this program and the needed follow-ups through the summer.

There will be no employment tax forms. You are a volunteer not an employee.

SUMMER REQUIREMENTS

FUNDRAISING LETTERS:  If you choose to participate you will need to send at least twenty-five financial partnership letters. We have a template you can use to make the process easier. You will give a list of these twenty-five supporters to the CEF Northshore office via an online form. This is required.

WEEKLY TIMESHEETS: When you complete a 5DC, you will turn in a form to CEF Northshore (email can be found on the time sheet itself). Once turned in and approved, you will receive an hourly rate subject to the minimum wage laws or larger depending on the amount collected.

THANK YOU LETTERS: At the end of the summer, we ask you to send out another letter to the same group of individuals you sent your financial partnership letters to. These letters are thank-you letters and a chance for you to tell your prayer and financial partners about what the Lord did through your summer.  Again, a template will be provided for you to use in giving these reports to make the process easier.
