Posted on 10/01/2009Youth groups are built around activities, but of course activities cost money, so hosting a fundraiser for the church youth can make a huge difference in what they are able to do with their time. If it is your job to organize the church Youth Fundraiser, you're probably feeling a lot of pressure to get things right. Of course there is hard work to be done, but don't let thoughts of anxiety and fear of failure consume you. This is something fantastic you are helping the youth group to do, and you should never lose sight of that.
You are the positive force that is driving this effort, and every bit of progress that you make will be one step in the right direction. Your fundraising sales team is the most important factor in your success. These kids are full of enthusiasm and energy, and they know that the results of their fundraiser will benefit them directly. So the more you can get them involved and excited right from the beginning, the better of everyone will be.
You can most certainly count on success if you have a group of energetic young people on your side. Coach them in the proper ways to conduct themselves during their church youth fundraiser, and make sure that they have all the basics down before you send them out to do their thing. You'll find that they're capable and willing to do most of the hard work themselves, leaving you free to do the organizational stuff that you were meant to do.
