Fundraising.
We know that it can be a daunting task to fundraise for a Street Invaders mission whether regional, national, or international. Below are some ideas that have worked for our students in the past. One of the best ways to do it is make a clear presentation or letter about where you are going and your heart for attending the program to hand out to friends, family, or members of your church. However there are lots of other ways to fundraise:
“Sponsor-A-Youth” - Sponsor-A-Youth works best in a church context. Students are sponsored financially, and patrons receive a picture and bio about the student. After their mission, students will send a report to those who sponsored them.
Village Artisan Sales - Contact the office to sell Village Artisan products and get part of the profit (may only be available certain years.

Create a fun basket and have people enter into a draw for it! You can ask local businesses if they would donate to your basket (i.e. coffee shops, local clothing stores, bakeries, etc.)
Talk to your church about how you can help out or what you can do to fundraise there!
