SERVICE & ACTIVITIES
Quoting From: Children and Youth
An Introductory Guide for Parents and Leaders
SERVICE & ACTIVITIES
(At Home)
“Service and activities establish righteous daily habits, build family relationships, teach life skills, develop Christlike attributes, and help children and youth grow. Family service and activities can focus on individual and family needs and provide opportunities to apply gospel principles in everyday experiences.”
SERVICE & ACTIVITIES
(At Church)
“Service—including Aaronic Priesthood holders officiating in the ordinance of the sacrament—and regular activities provide opportunities for youth to gather, learn new skills, accomplish difficult tasks, and build gospelcentered relationships with peers and leaders. These opportunities help children and youth grow spiritually, socially, physically, and intellectually and give meaningful service to others.
JustServe (JustServe.org) is a valuable resource for community service opportunities.
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.”
