¶ 1210.
Youth Service Fund--There shall be a Youth Service Fund, which
shall be a means of stewardship education and mission support of youth within
The United Methodist Church. As a part of its cultivation, the youth shall have
been challenged to assume their financial responsibilities in connection with
the total program and budget of the church of which they are members. Local
church treasurers shall send the full amount of Youth Service Fund offerings to
the treasurer of the annual conference, who shall retain 70 percent of the
amount for the annual conference council on youth ministry. The annual
conference treasurer shall send monthly the remaining 30 percent to the
treasurer of the General Council on Finance and Administration to be forwarded
to the National Youth Ministry Organization. All other Youth Service Fund money
raised in the annual conference shall be divided in the same manner and
distributed in the same way.
