One of the most important things to any effective ministry is being able to survive financially. In Youth Ministry, this generally means that youth groups are required to do some fundraising to help pay for events that are not in the annual budget. Here are some links that include fundraising ideas that can be used in the parish to help pay for trips, retreats and other activities.
