Churches looking for a ministry for girls who have graduated from Mainly Music or similar could find IFG Explore a great follow on activity.
The church owns the Unit and is responsible for its operation and oversight. Here's a recommendation from a church.
The IFG materials are copyrighted and may only be used by a registered Unit following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the church and GBNZ/IFG. Leaders must be approved by the church and are required to sign a Code of Conduct, a Leader’s Registration form, complete Health & Safety training, and are police-vetted.
A national fee is charged. This is paid quarterly and is based on the number of girls in the programme for the term. No fees are charged during the first 12 months of operation. All programme and supporting materials and initial training of leaders is provided free of charge.
Girls wear a uniform of t-shirt and cap and are awarded badges for activities they have taken part in.
