Local Coordinator Incentives

Introducing Our NEW LC Incentive Plan!

Hard work deserves recognition and reward. Our Local Coordinators do incredible things, and we should celebrate their efforts. To do that, we’ve revitalized our LC Incentive Plan to give you more rewards for all you do.

Everything you do as a Local Coordinator is given a point value. Those points can be redeemed in our NEW YFU Swag Store. Each item is worth a certain amount of LC Incentive Points, and the point total includes shipping costs. To redeem your points and receive your items, complete this form, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Here’s How Your Efforts Turn Into Points:

Make a social media post and tag YFU USA* – 1 point
Attend LC training* – 2 points
Complete a school visit* – 5 points
Assist with an in-person orientation* – 10 points
Hold a field event – 10 points*
Make a placement – 20 points*

Make 5 Placements – Earn a Cruise!

Don’t worry—your cruise incentive hasn’t disappeared. If you make FIVE placements*, you’ll earn a four-night Caribbean cruise that will set sail in January 2026!

The tracking period for these incentives is October 1st, 2024, to August 30th, 2025. Get to work and earn your LC Incentive points today!

LC Incentive Program Guidelines

At YFU USA, we want to ensure our Local Coordinator (LC) Incentive Program is straightforward and accessible. Below, you’ll find all the important details to help you make the most of this opportunity:

Placement Eligibility

Included Placements: Placements must be with new or former YFU families. You do not necessarily need to be the LC supporting the student if you were the one who recruited the host family.
Excluded Placements: Placements with other LCs or student moves are not eligible for rewards. Placements are tracked internally.
Referrals: This incentive plan does not include referrals through the YFU Refer-a-Host Family Program. However, LCs can recruit families outside their 100-mile territory and will be compensated on their LC invoice.

Logging Field Events

Event Log Submission: After completing an event, log your participation using the form provided on this page. Be sure to include photo proof to support your claim.
Log leads from these events in the main contact form, with your name and lead type in the message.

Event Registration & Marketing Materials Requests

Registration Fees & Approvals: If you need YFU to cover an event’s registration fee or ship marketing materials, you must obtain approval from a Director at least two weeks before the event. Use the provided approval request form to submit your request.
Last-Minute Planning: Printable materials are available in the LC E-Kit if you have less than two weeks’ notice or want to save on shipping.
