Stake Presidency
Overview of Responsibilities
All stake presidencies, including those in stakes not attending FSY this upcoming summer, should:
- Ensure the stake Young Women and Young Men presidents or YSA stake Relief Society president know of their responsibilities related to FSY.
- Encourage qualified YSA to apply to serve as FSY counselors.
- Work with your stake Young Women and Young Men presidents and stake and ward youth leadership in determining the best way to extend the FSY experience beyond the 5-day conference.
Stake presidencies in stakes attending FSY this upcoming summer should:
- Ensure wards budget $75 USD ($100 CAD) for each youth attending FSY in the ward’s Budget-FSY category. Funding to subsidize any youth who is unable to pay the participant fee should also be held in the ward’s Budget-FSY category. For more information, see Billing Information.
- Encourage:
- bishoprics to approve youth to attend FSY before January 1.
- youth to register for FSY (registration opens in January of the year your stake is invited to attend) and to make a special effort to reach out and invite new members, less-active members, and people of other faiths.
- parents to make FSY a priority in their summer activities.
- If sufficient members live within your stake boundaries, please consider calling a stake disability specialist to support youth with disabilities.
- Support and participate in stake FSY activities before and after the session(s) your stake is assigned to attend.
- Give youth opportunities to share their experience from FSY at a stake conference, activity, or devotional.
