Since 1991, the National FYC has implemented a team of young people called the National Youth Officers in assisting the ministry by encouraging these young people to use their talents in service to the Church.  These youth have served in many capacities, ranging from communication with local FYC’ers, planning and implementing District and National Youth Functions, development of our YOUTH REACH and other publications, online development, Lock-In and Fall Challenge resources, among many others.  We have always been encouraged by the heart of service these young people bring to the table and their talents through which God has increased our ministry.

We will be continuing this Officer Team; however, we will be implementing it in a slightly different manner.  Instead of being elected at General Conferences, we have created an application process to allow greater opportunity for all youth to participate.  We are also going to be looking for one representative Youth from each District in an attempt to attract greater participation and a better cross-section of our ministry area.  (Those not chosen could be given opportunity to serve in various other capacities within their District depending on availability.)

To date, the following positions have been filled:

     West Coast Rep. - Brianne Feigum (Harrisburg, Oregon)

     Central Rep. - Brian Franks (Colorado Springs, Colorado)

     Southwest Rep. - Janna Reyes (Pharr, Texas) 

We still have several positions to fill.  If you are interested in running for an Officer position, you can download a Job Description and an Application from http://cog7.org/fyc_officers.htm.
