CYIA™ is the CEF® summer program where high school and college age students (ages 15-22) are trained to conduct a 5-Day Club®. After two weeks of intensive training, these summer missionaries conduct three 5-Day Club® sessions a day primarily in Greenville and occasionally in Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens counties during June and July.
These students impact the lives of hundreds of children, many for eternity. Meanwhile, their own spiritual lives are also dramatically changed as they discover how God has gifted them in areas of teaching and evangelism. Many will eventually go on to become educators, pastors and missionaries. Students will also develop teamwork and interpersonal skills by working closely with other summer missionaries and a dedicated and caring staff, becoming part of the CEF® family.
