Service and activities can help youth grow, establish righteous daily habits, build family relationships, learn life skills, and develop Christlike attributes. Family service and activities can focus on individual and family needs and provide opportunities to apply gospel principles in everyday experiences.
Service—including Aaronic Priesthood holders officiating in the ordinance of the sacrament—and regular activities provide opportunities to gather, learn new skills, accomplish difficult tasks, and build gospel-centered relationships with peers and leaders. These opportunities help youth grow more like the Savior and give meaningful service to others.
With the help of adult leaders, quorum and class presidencies plan service and activities. These activities should be fun and engaging and build testimonies, strengthen families, and foster personal growth. They should also be balanced across the four areas of growth (spiritual, social, physical, and intellectual).
Multiday activities for youth include For the Strength of Youth (FSY) conferences, youth conferences, camps, and other gatherings. These activities can help youth deepen their desire to follow the Savior, pull them out of their regular routines, and help them see that they are part of a larger group of youth who share righteous goals.
