YFC Club Officer Handbook

The YFC Club Officer handbook provides information for clubs that will help members keep their clubs and community activities running safely.

Each club has young people volunteering to run in formal officer positions to enable it to be run effectively, such as a treasurer, secretary, club programmer, etc. This handbook is a key resource for all young people who are in positions of responsibility as well as a guide for member activities.

The handbook is split into six sections, each containing a number of PDF downloads. These downloads will be available soon via these pages, and a hard copy of the whole handbook will also be released in the near future.
