LDS Young Women - Personal Progress
Personal Progress is a goal-setting program that helps a young woman develop a testimony of Jesus Christ and his gospel. Goals of the program are as follows:
- Each Young Woman will know she is a daughter of God.
- Each Young Woman will rely upon the Holy Ghost.
- Each Young Woman will develop personal religious behaviors, such as prayer, scripture study, obedience to commandments, and service.
- Each Young Woman will keep her baptismal covenants and prepare and qualify for temple covenants.
- Each Young Woman will develop talents and skills that prepare her for her future roles.
- Each Young Woman will establish a pattern of step-by-step progress through her life.
Through Personal Progress, each young woman can develop a pattern of progress for her life that will bring her joy and happiness.

- Hymns that correlate with the YW Values
Information on the Eighth Young Women Value: Virtue
- New Value Virtue Main Page - basically a FAQ of information regarding the new value. YW should continue working on their personal progress booklets until new materials regarding the new value are printed. (Personally, I'd use this as an opportunity to encourage YW to hurry up and finish now in case the program gets harder! :) ~Jenny)
- SugarDoodle - has an activity idea based on the theme "return to virtue"
Revised YW Theme
We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us, and we love Him. We will "stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places" (Mosiah 18:9) as we strive to live the Young Women values, which are
Faith
Divine Nature
Individual Worth
Knowledge
Choice and Accountability
Good Works
Integrity and
Virtue.We believe as we come to accept and act upon these values, we will be prepared to strengthen home and family, make and keep sacred covenants, receive the ordinances of the temple, and enjoy the blessings of exaltation.
If you can help modify the documents on this site with the old theme, I'd really appreciate it!

#1 Hi Jenny, I love your website
Hi Jenny,
I love your website and thought that these ideas may be helpful to someone else. The first one went with a Choice and Accountability activity however the second one could go with just about anything. I used a size 11 font that looked similar to the one in the Personal Progress book and made double columns so it would fit in the book. We made copies and cut them up and had the girls glue them into their book.
___ 8. Be accountable for your own belongings. After listening to a presentation on de-cluttering, discuss way that you could take better care of your belongings. Spend two to three hours organizing space in your room for which you are responsible.
___ 8. Learn to recognize the value of regular scriptures study in your life. For three weeks read the scriptures for at least 15 minutes each day. Set aside specific study time each day. Before you begin; pray to ask the Lord to help you better understand what you are reading and to know that they are true.
I don't know if you are interested in this or not. Feel free to use them or not.
Thank you,
Mary B,
Tucson Arizona Stake

There are tons of ideas on this and other sites. You can take some of the ideas and change them to your theme for this year. Also don't be afraid to ask the other members of your presidency and past presidencies for their ideas.
Good Luck and enjoy your calling with the young women.

Let a leader know what has happened. They should be checking to see if any approvals are needed.
#13 for an individual worth
for an individual worth project i did a power point, and took all the girls in our young women's and said what there talents were and what there future plans were and that was more than a ten hour project, i had alot of fun doing it, so that might be an idea. or when ask a leader they always have good ideas!

I think that requests go both to parents and leaders, right? I can see pass off requests from our girls even though I'm a leader.

The above link contains the product numbers for the ribbons. You can place a distribution order by telephone, and the rest of the new YW products are now available from the Church's online catalog here:

Not sure why the ribbons aren't available online -- probably they're not out yet.

#18 They are only available
They are only available through the ward - check with your clerk - they are on a different order form that only the wards order from - they are 10 to a package for $3.50 I think....
#19 The only place I have seen
The only place I have seen them is from the Distribution Center themselves
#20 Hi! The distribution centers
Hi!
The distribution centers also sell the ribbons, but they're not out on display because they can only be purchased by members of the presidency. Hope this helps!
#21 I earned my YW Award in the
I earned my YW Award in the early 1980's I had the original necklace. Here is my problem---my sons got into my jewelry box and proceeded to play pirates and lost my medalion---I still have the chain!!! I have tried for years to locate a replacement. Is there anyway to get a replacement of the original necklace?
THANKS
Kathy
#22 im sorry to tell you that i
im sorry to tell you that i dont think they even sell the old necklaces anymore. you could possibly go on ebay or any website like it and try to buy a new one. or now they let all women (whether you have a young woman or not) earn the medallion over again to get the new one. and then you could always pray and keep looking! ;)
#23 I would contact Salt Lake.
I would contact Salt Lake. Our YW's returned any old medallions, etc. to Salt Lake.
#24 I found this forum when I was
I found this forum when I was searching for a way to get a new medallion after I lost my old one. After reading answers in a few different places online I e-mailed the lds distribution center's online help desk. I'm sure they can give you a good answer.
#25 Call Salt Lake - General YW
Call Salt Lake - General YW headquarters. Sister Mary Cook came to Texas for leadership training and instructed us to mail back to SLC any old medallions still in our closets. She said there was no reimbursement and all YW who earn the medallion should be given the newly revised medallion.
My guess is that old medallions being returned to headquarters could possibly be available for you.
Good luck!!!
#26 I've never heard this before
I've never heard this before -- would never have thought of this. Please let us know if you hear anything on these old medallions.
