Financial Policy

Team Leaders can have the option to be paid for their time at CYIA. Your intention regarding Employment as a Team Leader:*

Desire to serve as a Team Leader in volunteer role (training cost is covered by CEF)Commit to being a Team Leader with the desire and plan to raise necessary funds ($1,150.00, financial assistance available in local chapter) a minimum of 1 week prior to CYIA and if insufficient funds will still serve as a Team Leader
In order for a Team Leader to become an employee (be paid) you must:

- submit all required employment paperwork (W-4, I-9, WI work permit) to CEF no later than June 1 and

- gain pledges/funds that cover $1,150.00 for time of work one (1) week prior to CYIA training.
