Event Information

As a ministry leader, you may be asking: 

• “How do I clearly and enthusiastically communicate what’s going on?”  
• “How do I communicate need without sounding desperate?” 
• “How do I connect champions to the broader cause and not to me personally?”

Good news! You can be real and honest without sounding desperate. A well-crafted Case for Support statement will give talking points for any conversation with a current or prospective giver as well as give a framework for all your communications.  

Join this virtual cohort to walk through each of the four steps of building a Case for Support statement and adapting it to your unique Youth For Christ Chapter. This cohort includes three 1-hour weekly group Zoom sessions in addition to a one-on-one Zoom session to give practical tips on how to tailor your Case for Support for use in multiple scenarios. This opportunity is valued at $1,200 but offered at a price of $300 for all 4 sessions!
