Instructions for Youth and Adult Leaders

Resources to assist you as you conduct meetings, plan service and activities, and minister to the members of your class.

Learn how the ward youth council can help youth leaders as they lead in the Lord’s work of salvation and exaltation.

Youth leaders have been called of God and have had hands laid upon their heads under the direction of those who hold priesthood keys. See how one Young Women class presidency fulfills their responsibilities to prepare, counsel, teach, minister, and lead.

The prophet has invited our youth to serve, and we can help.

Yours is a calling to nurture and prepare covenant women of God.

Blessings await those who minister and those who serve.

Understand the needs of the youth, and listen to them as they make comments and ask questions in class. Take an interest in their lives.

Sharing experiences is a gift of spirit and a gift of truth, where young women grow in understanding “and [all] are edified and rejoice together” (Doctrine and Covenants 50:22).

Knowing that the gospel is true is the essence of a testimony. Consistently being true to the gospel is the essence of conversion.

Young women need a place where they can gather together, separate from worldly influences, feel the Spirit of the Lord, grow in unity and love, and strengthen their faith and testimonies of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
