Beginning September 6, the lessons in Aaronic Priesthood and Young Women meetings will focus on truths in the updated edition of For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices.

This updated guide is available in the Gospel Library app, online, as a downloadable PDF, and will be available soon in print. The updated edition contains 12 chapters, with one chapter designated for study each month. Youth and their families are invited to do the following between now and September to prepare:

Read Together: One Chapter per Week

Youth, their families, and leaders are invited to read the entire guide before September 6, becoming familiar with its teachings and learning how to use it as a lifelong resource for discipleship and decision-making. Here are two easy ways to read the short chapters of 2–4 pages each:

• Use a study plan in the Gospel Library app. With the study plan, you can track chapters read, set in‑app notifications, and listen to each chapter, which will automatically mark the week’s reading as complete. How to set up a study plan: (1) on the home screen of the Gospel Library, tap Study Plans, then tap FSY Guide: A Study for Lifelong Discipleship.

Weekly posts will include reading invitations, insights, and testimonies from other youth, along with application ideas that help youth act on what they are learning.

Follow the Church’s Youth Social Media Channels

The Church’s youth-focused social media channels, previously known as Strive to Be, have now been renamed For the Strength of Youth on Instagram and Facebook. These channels offer:

• Uplifting, Christ-centered messages that help youth deepen their faith and feel the Savior’s love in their daily lives.
• Positive, inspirational content to strengthen confidence, belonging, and discipleship in a supportive online community.
• Worldwide perspectives from youth and leaders, helping young men and young women feel connected to other disciples of Jesus Christ around the globe.

Parents, leaders, and youth are also invited to follow Young Women Worldwide on Facebook and Instagram and Young Men Worldwide on Facebook and Instagram.

Attend the Youth Discussion on August 30, 2026

To prepare youth and their families for the new curriculum, the Church has designated Sunday, August 30, 2026, the fifth Sunday of that month, as a worldwide discussion day for youth. On this Sunday, youth, their parents, youth leaders, and Primary children who will turn 12 in 2027 are invited to gather in their wards and branches to watch instructional videos provided by the Church and conclude with a local discussion.

This special fifth-Sunday meeting will introduce the new curriculum, demonstrate how to use the guide effectively, and offer practical instruction on how youth can participate fully in weekly classes beginning September 6.

Provide Ongoing Encouragement

Parents and families can provide ongoing support by discussing the monthly topics in home evenings and in other family discussions.
