The Youth For Christ Foundation is governed by the Board of Trustees, composed of nine voting members and three ex-officios.

The Trustees are generally responsible for overseeing the Foundation’s program and grantmaking strategy; budgets, policies and guidelines; and investment strategies, allocations and performance. The trustees perform their duties through committees including the:

• Executive Committee

• Audit Committee

• Chapter Communications Committee

• Investment Committee

• Nominating Committee

• Various Scholarship Committees and ad-hoc committees

The board considers trustee candidates who are spiritually mature, bring a professional expertise that compliments the group, and who demonstrate a strong affiliation with a local Youth For Christ chapter.
