Young Women

The Young Women organization helps young women learn about and live the gospel of Jesus Christ and increase their faith in Him. Young women serve others, build unity, and help accomplish God’s work. The Young Women General Presidency, which directs this organization for the whole Church, consists of a president and two counselors. These three women are responsible for supporting young women ages 12 to 18 as they serve in the Church and prepare to make temple covenants. Members of the Young Women General Presidency travel frequently to minister to Church members around the world and to strengthen the young women of the Church.

The church recently announced changes to the names of the classes for Young Women. They are now:

  • Builder of Faith: for those turning 12 or 13

  • Messenger of Hope: those turning 14 or 15

  • Gatherer of Light: those turning 16 or older
