Young Women activities should strengthen testimonies, foster personal growth, and provide a wholesome environment where youth can make friends with others who share similar beliefs and standards.

Mutual is a regularly scheduled activity for young women and young men. Mutual is a time when youth can be together in safe places to practice living the gospel of Jesus Christ, feel the Spirit, and prepare for future responsibilities in happy and appropriate ways.

• Mutual is usually an hour to an hour and a half in length. This normally includes brief opening exercises followed by an activity.
• Mutual is held on a day or evening other than Sunday or Monday. It should be held regularly at the same place and the same time. The frequency of Mutual can be determined by the safety, distance, and cost of travel.

Some regularly-held Young Women and youth events include New Beginnings,  Young Women in Excellence, standards events, and youth conference.

Examples of other youth activities include:

• Service.
• Musical productions.
• Dance festivals.
• Sports and fitness events.
• Drama and speech.
• Cultural arts.
• Treks.
• Camp.
• Historical commemorations.

These events are an important part of a youth program because they provide a place where youth can share with others their testimony of the gospel and how to live it.

All activities should create a feeling of unity and a sense of belonging and strengthen and support the family. Activities should be varied and well balanced. They should appeal to the interests and needs of the young women and young men.

Most important, activities should provide opportunities for the youth to feel the Spirit.
