Resources to Help in Preparing Leadership Lessons

The following resources can help you prepare leadership lessons for young women:

• Leadership Resources

Leadership principles have been researched and information compiled using references from the scriptures, Church handbooks, Personal Progress, For the Strength of Youth, True to the Faith, and the Gospel Art Picture Kit. These are excellent resources to aid in preparing leadership lessons. If you see a specific need for your young women that is not addressed by these resources, use handbooks and guidebooks to develop your own lesson.
