My Calling as a Young Women Class Secretary

Responsibilities

The Lord is grateful for your willingness to serve in His Church. Below is an overview of the responsibilities for your calling.

Purpose of Young Women

The Young Women organization helps God’s beloved daughters prepare to return to His presence. It helps young women become lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ as they make and keep sacred covenants and deepen their conversion. In their classes and gatherings, young women serve others, fulfill covenant responsibilities, build unity, and learn and live doctrine. (See General Handbook, 11.1.1.)

Young Women Class Secretary

The Young Women class secretary supports the class presidency and Young Women leaders to serve or minister to class members. She prepares an agenda for presidency meetings, takes notes, and keeps track of assignments and attendance in Sunday meetings (11.3.4.2).

Presidency Meetings

Young Women class presidencies meet regularly and are joined by the class secretary and the adult Young Women leaders assigned to support them. They counsel together and seek revelation about the Lord’s will for their class. These meetings may include discussions on serving class members, with special attention to supporting new members and reaching out to less-active members, and planning class meetings, service, and activities. (See 11.3.4.3.)
