Cby25 Recommendation by and ongoing support from adult supporters. Youth trainers receive a stipend, based upon full/half-day training. Alumni are hourly employees of Cby25 Initiative. Cby25 has liability insurance. Youth under 18 need written permission from foster parent and agency. 
Elevate Involvement in Elevate, a statewide support group for foster care youth and adoptees. Elevate provides youth with transportation and gives them a $10-$20 gift card to WalMart. If they train through the statewide foster parent organizations, IFAPA pays $150 per trainer per training plus travel expenses. Written permission from legal guardian. 
FosterClub National invitation through competative process on FosterClub's website. Foster Club has an elaborate system of compensating through GSA per diems when possible. They sometimes pay stipends, which are taxable as 1099 income. This is particularly complicated when doing out-of-state work, because they are required to set up payroll in the state where services are delivered. All-Stars are all 18+ for confidentiality and permission reasons.
