Overview of Responsibilities
- Become familiar with the FSY website, particularly the FAQ and FSY Accommodations of Persons with Dietary, Disability, Medical, or Other Needs, and refer parents and youth to the website to answer any FSY questions.
- For questions not answered on the website, reach out to your stake Young Women or Young Men presidents, or email FSYAccommodations@ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
- Ensure ward disability specialists are identifying youth with dietary, disability, medical, or other needs that may require accommodations.

Details of Responsibilities
Youth Registration
- Train ward disability specialists to seek out youth in their wards with dietary, disability, medical, or other needs that may require accommodations to ensure they know how to request those accommodations.
- Train ward disability specialists to walk youth (and parents) who may need support through the registration process.
- Ensure the stake Young Women and Young Men presidents are aware of youth in your stake with dietary, disability, medical, or other needs in your ward so these youth can receive appropriate accommodations during the stake FSY activities.
- Participate in the planning and execution of the stake FSY activities, as requested by the stake Young Women and Young Men presidents.
Who Do I Work With?
Local leaders are key to the success of FSY. Their role is essential before, during, and after the conference.
- Ask them about any questions you may have regarding logistics, registration, policies, etc. that are not answered on the website.
- Inform them of youth with dietary, disability, medical, or other needs in your stake.
- Ensure they are aware of their responsibilities regarding FSY.
- Request a list of youth with dietary, disability, medical, or other needs from them.
- If no ward disability specialists are called, you will work with these leaders as though they are the ward disability specialists.
