Responsibilities of Class Presidencies


Young women responsibilities

Class presidencies care for each class member (see "Young Women," section 4 of the Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2: Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders [1998], 218).

Class presidency members plan ways to be a friend to:

  • All young women in the class.
  • New members.
  • Less-active members.
  • Young women with special needs.

Class presidency members help plan and conduct Sunday Young Women meetings, Mutual, and other activities, assigning class members responsibilities.

Every young woman needs three things:

  1. Friendship. Genuine friendship helps each young woman feel loved and welcome.
  2. A responsibility. Church callings and assignments help young women grow spiritually and strengthen their commitment to the Lord and His Church.
  3. "Nourish[ing] by the good word of God" (Moroni 6:4). Personal study of the scriptures, as well as teaching in family and Church settings, helps young women increase their understanding and strengthen their testimonies of the gospel.

(See "Gospel Teaching and Leadership," section 16 of the Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2: Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders [1998], 307–8.)
