Here’s my featured question of the week:
- “I’m hunting for creative Personal Progress value projects to share with my Young Women. Can you help me?”
I’ve posted this on the Mormon Share Facebook page, and will post the results below. Please share your ideas, too!!!

For one of my projects I tutored kids with disabilities. I enjoyed it so much I ended up getting a degree in Special Education!

My daughter coached her little sister’s soccer team. She really learned a lot about coaching, patience and learning to love the girls! It was a great experience!

Make Baptism books for 8yr old’s or soon to be 8. Include pictures to color, journal pages, word find’s–all about baptism & the spirit, explain what baptism is all about, etc. My girls loved it! Then they presented them to the 8yr old’s after they were sustained during Sacrament in Sharing time during Primary!

My laurel class each made their own twin-size quilt. Each person in our class, including leaders, made a quilt block (approximately 12″ x 12″ or desired size) that represented her. She could cross-stitch, paint, stencil, etc. on her block. For example, one person loves light houses so she painted a light house on her block. Each YW made the same block for each person in the class. Each YW then traded her blocks with everyone else so everyone had a quilt block from each person in the class. We also included a class picture as one of the blocks. The other blocks were material to fill in between the decorated blocks to make the size of the desired quilt. Once the blocks were sewn together, the quilt was tied. This project is a fun reminder of each YW in the class.

My YW don’t have supportive parents at home that help them with their Personal Progress. So here are some Idea’s we did together as activities some of these activities take 2 or 3 activity nights.
We made a recipe book with all the RS favortie Recipe’s.
I took the girls to the store and let them pick out blanket material for the front and back. (They LOVED IT) This is for their future baby.
Next activity we pined the sides together and sewed them with a nice finishing sew job on top.
Next activity we took emb. floss and quilted it.
They LOVED it!We have also set up the nursery to babysit kids once a month for parents to go to ward temple night. The girls brought activities, stories, movies and treats. Each had a small little lesson prepared. (which passed off a value experience too)
If you live in Utah you can set up an appt. to tour the make a wish foundation! IT WAS SOOOOO COOL! They even brought treats in for us! Then we got a Make A Wish child and gave some community service to help in any way we could.
We taught the girls how to make easy meals for when they have a family of their own. We gave them a recipe card to go into their books and after donated the meal to a family in the ward. We did this activity 4 times(8hrs)Through the year. With one activity to make the cute recipe books.
EASY ONE- I take my YW to the temple every month. (Three trips to the temple take up the 10 hrs.) Try temple hopping, if you are located in Utah they love it!
As far as reading the Book of Mormon for the Virtue value project. I have heard of a ward that had all their girls get to a certain point in the scriptures (It wasn’t very far) and then they set up a tent in someones back yard and had a Book of Mormon Read-A-Thon. They read the book of mormon that night and next morning. They said they started early and didn’t stay up TO late.
We also have done random service that we have counted to total up 10 hrs. One activity we did a service scavenger hunt. (2 hrs) Then we picked up Thanksgiving food items from ward members took (2 hrs) with a cute lesson. I think you get the point. All service activities that we did added up to 10 hrs.
If you decide to make personal progress a part of your activities e-mail me. We made cute bags with scriptures and PP books that they bring to every activities and to church on Sunday. We also made cute chuncky bead braclets where each large bead is a color of the values! Then each 10 hr project they earn they got a charm to go on the braclet.
Hope this Helps

For one of her YW projects, my sister did a project for me. She knew how much I loved the Seminary manuals and quotes, and so she copied out all of the quotes from the manual and printed out a long list of quotes by topic. It was awesome.

Reading the scriptures while writing a journal about each book. At the beginning they could put their testimony and also after. Then they can keep it their whole life and share it w/ their children.

one of our laurels made a young women torch out of left over ceramic tile pieces and then screwed the logo onto a board, (cut and carved by one of the priesthood) to create a plaque. The plaque was then used to engrave each young womens name and year they have received their medallions. This can help motivate them to complete their personal progress.

I’m doing one for faith right now and I’m writing poems about Christ and church things like the temple and marriage and camp, etc.

For a knowledge project, we trained for and ran a 5k as a YW group. We used a training schedule called ‘Couch to 5k’ (can be found by doing a internet search) so all of the girls were able to participate–athletic or not. Along with that, during some of our activities, we collected healthy recipes and even tried a few out at mutual! It was so fun running with members of our YW and even some of the mom’s and RS sisters joined in with us!

Sounds like great fun! Thanks for sharing!

For an individual worth project, my Mia Maid class organized a Talent Show on a mutual night! All the youth participated, there were all kinds of acts like karate forms, girls playing the piano and singing, and funny skits

For my knowledge project I took notes on all 4 sessions of General Conference, and then afterwards I combined it all into a cute scrapbook organized by talk. I thought it was really cool, and it's really neat to look back on now that it's finished.

For my Divine Nature projects, my friend and I each handpicked 5 temples, learned about them, and drew them. It was fun hanging out with her, and when we were done with the temples, we sent them to the actual temples. It was cool knowing that people in Bolivia and Rome got to see OUR drawings. We even got some thank you notes back!
