Rationale Many years ago, CFC Youth for Christ, then a parish/ community based organization, felt a calling to even more actively and deliberately reach out to the youth. As a result, the College/ Campus and High School Programs were established in several major high schools and campuses in Metro Manila, and many of those schools High School Clubs were blessed. Students grew in their love for God. Families were reunited. Lives were changed by the ever transforming, redeeming love of God. CFC Youth for Christ feels stronger God’s call to share this same love not only to its members but also to the whole school – that more may experience the life and growth that has made us better persons in accordance with the mission and vision of Youth for Christ and of the schools we’ve come to call our second home.

In responding to this call, we find ourselves radically readjusting our structure and activities in such a way that the blessings we receive will be made available to the entire school population. YFC High School Based is one of the 5 major programs of YFC. CFC Youth for Christ High School Based Community Based Campus Based TORCH YCOM YFC High School Based was made specifically to cater to the YFC’s and would be YFC’s in the high school level. CFC Youth for Christ believes that there’s need to evangelize the young from the High Schools because it is in these stages of their lives, wherein they’re foundations are crucial. Whatever they do in this age could make or break them as a person. Vision FAMILIES IN THE HOLY SPIRIT RENEWING THE FACE OF THE EARTH Moved by the Holy Spirit, one with the Catholic Church, blessed to witness to Christ’s love and service, Couples for Christ is a united global community of family evangelizers that sets the world on fire with the fullness of God’s transforming love 4 C. Mission BUILDING THE CHURCH OF THE HOME AND THE CHURCH OF THE POOR We are Couples for Christ.

We are committed to live in God’s righteousness and holiness, evangelizing people through a life of love and service; we shall work for the renewal of families that will serve God and build generations of Christian leaders; and, we shall pursue Total Christian Liberation through social justice, respect for life, and work with the poor. Thrust “Bring God’s High to the Schools” E. THE YFC HSB ANCHOR VERSE and OBJECTIVES Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example to the believers in Christ in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity (1Tim 4:12) 1. Introduce YFC as an alternative peer environment for the high school students. Build and train student leaders who will lead YFC and witness the Christian life to their peers. Provide sustainable, fun, and meaningful activities within the school to help members grow in their Christian and personal life and service to God.

Link the School-Based program with other high schools and universities with YFC presence for the members to appreciate and be inspired by their YFC brothers and sisters and for the members to be supported by college YFC the moment they graduate from high school into college. Involve parents and faculty in the spiritual growth of the club members. Invite the members to a deeper relationship with Christ and challenge them to love, honor, and serve God, their family, their brothers and sisters in YFC, their school, and their country 5 CFC Youth for Christ High School Based Manual YFC High School Based Structure A.

THE BASIC YFC HSB STRUCTURE The Basic YFC HSB Structure HSB Program FTW/MV Provincial Program CC / Sector Program CC HSB Program Youth Heads HPV School This is the Basic YFC HSB Structure. This means that: 1) Every area starts with having a Program Couple Coordinator and Youth Head Counterpart as the head of the YFC HS Based Program in the area. 2) The YFC HS Based program develops and grows in its structure when schools are added in the area. 3) In this setting, the HPVs attend their upper households with the provincial/ sector Couple Coordinator in their area. 4) The HPVs conduct lower households with the YFC Club President (Pres.), and YFC VP of Internal Affairs (VP-IA).

  The brother’s household is composed of all YFC Club Presidents of Co-Ed, and YFC Club Presidents of all-boys schools, headed by an appointed HPV brother. The sister’s household is composed of all VP-IAs, and YFC Club Presidents of all-girls schools. 5) Households must be composed of:  Three YFC HS Club Presidents and their EVPs for brothers (  Three VP-IAs or YFC Club Presidents of all-girls schools.

NOTE: Groupings of households depend on the area of proximity between schools. 8 6) The HS Based Program Couple Coordinator and Youth head may conduct coordination meetings with the HPVs in its areas to coordinate, plan growth of the program in their area, and collect status reports. ACCOMMODATING THE GROWTH OF THE PROGRAM As evangelization continues to thrive in the area, the area might go through certain difficulties in order to handle its growth. Issues like lack of manpower in leading the schools, and geographical location of schools may arise as a provice/sector begins to increase in its number of schools. As this happens, the sector/province may consider handling the program through the following: 7) The province/sector may now appoint a Highschool Area Couple Coordinator and Youth Head within its structure to handle at least five (5) schools. 8) Assigning of Highschool Area Couple Coordinators and Youth Heads may arise due to the following needs:  A sector/province reaches more than 10 schools, thus, being too much for the Sector/Provincial HS Couple Coordinator and its Youth Head to handle.  A sector/province has schools that are difficult to reach in terms of its geographical location thus needing to appoint a person that is closer to that area.

9) The High School Base Area Coordinator and Youth Head1 have the following roles and responsibilities:       Reports directly to the YFC HSB Sector Program head. Cascades program direction to HPVs in his/her area. Monitors and tracks progress of schools in his/her area. Conduct lower households with the HPVs in their area Collect and consolidate all reports and updates with regard to its status in the school Conduct values formation to the ANCOP scholars 10) In this setting, the Higschool Area Couple Coordinators and Youth Heads conduct lower households with the HPVs in their area, while they attend their upper households with the Provincial Program CC/Sector Program CC.

1 An HSB Area Coordinator and Youth Head are assigned given the following provisions. A) proximity of schools and B) Number of schools – when area exceeds 10 schools. 9 NOTE: For HSB Area Youth Heads who are appointed due to proximity concerns, they may attend the household in the nearest chapter of the Community Based program. 11) The brother HPVs continue to have lower households with the Presidents and EVPs in the area, while sister HPVs have lower households with the VPIAs in the area, presidents of all girls schools and evps, NOTE: In cases that there is no brother or sister HPV to handle a household in an area, the Highschool Area Couple Coordinator and Youth Head handle the specific household needed (whether brother or sister).

These YFC members may be potential officers for the recognized group. Determine the type of school (public/private/sectarian/and non-sectarian) in order to determine the type of approach and strategy in approaching the school.

Determine the demographic of the students in the school (general information on the kinds of students and youth) Know the key persons in the school (administration, principal, department that handles all recognized groups) in order to assist us in entering the school through the proper process. This is to be done 2 months before step two. STEP TWO: PLAN YOUR COURSE OF ACTION     Identify key people that will help you as you open the school.

A) Alumni members of the school b) Possible members of your Highschool Support Group (HSG) c) A community member who is currently part of the school(CFC,SFC,YFC.) Gather your HSG and train them on the basics of YFC HSB. Get in touch with community members who are working in the school, or alumni members in order to help you get more information or endorsement to the school. Prepare all the necessary materials for the presentation a) YFC primer b) Proposal letter c) Endorsement letter (from parish, Dep-Ed, or community members that are part of the school) if needed STEP THREE: 12 SUBMIT A PROPOSAL  Set an appointment with the school administration for the YFC Presentation – this may be done by the HPV, High School Based Program Head, Couple Coordinator or any other person who has contact with the school administration.

This should be done at the very start of the school-year, or even before school starts; so that the administration will have enough time to go over the materials and incorporate YFC into the school structure. If this is done in the middle of the school-year, the administration will usually ask to be followed up at a later time and request us to come back the following year.  The High School Based Program Head, High School Based Couple Coordinator and HPV meet with the administration and explain the purpose of the YFC. They request permission to gather YFC members in the school and make YFC an official recognized group.  The following materials should accompany the presentation: a) Sample Presentation Letter (See Appendices) b) YFC High School Presentation Kit (See Appendices)  After meeting with the administration, ALWAYS TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING in order for us to consistently follow up on the school’s response. A) Contact persons within school administration b) Names of school principal, probable club moderator c) Telephone number and e-mail address (if any) of the school d) Schedule of next appointment STEP FOUR:(if any) STRATEGIZE WITH YOUR HIGHSCHOOL SUPPORT GROUP  Gather possible members.

Yfc Camp Smugmug

A) Start gathering the existing YFC members in the school, if any. These members can help us in setting up the recognized group.

Gather them and give a short exhortation talk about exciting them to serve in YFC HSB. 13 b) If there are no existing YFC members, ask permission to do room-to-room invitation. NOTE: Make sure to get all the contact numbers of the possible members. There are cases in which schools give already a number of your possible members, in which case gathering possible members is not needed.

 Plan for the Youth Camp a) Determine the number of possible members.
