Youth AccountsFor youth 7th-12th grade

Each youth that participates in fundraisers has their own Youth account. Similar to a bank account. Money goes into their name and stays until they graduate high school, unless used before then for youth ministry events that point people to Christ.

Earning Money Youth can raise money for their youth account through fundraisers through Our Savior or

donations. Some fundraisers are earning $5 per sold item and others the amount brought in are split

between those who help.

Spending Money Money from the youths account are for youth who are members of Our Savior and can be used

for youth trips or youth purchases such as t-shirts, books, etc. o If youth who are members are participating in events outside of Our Savior they can

apply for the funds to be used by writing a letter to the Youth Ministry Team who then review the request; the event must Point People to Christ and cannot exceed $150.

If a non-member youth participates in an Our Savior Fundraiser the funds can be used for trips and items only from Our Savior.

All spent money will be paid to an organization not to a participant.

Graduates At the end of the summer following youth’s graduation they will get to decide to use their

remaining funds to go back into the general fund for youth ministry, donate it to their siblings youth accounts or hold in their account to use in a way to Point People to Christ by December of that year.

Their account stays active till December 1 of their graduating year. If they choose to use that money before December 1, they need to write a letter to the Youth Ministry Team explaining what the money is for, the amount requested, and to what organization the check is written. Checks cannot be written to the youth or their family.
