For the Strength of Youth Guide Updated

The Church has revised its guide for Latter-day Saint youth. For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices invites youth to exercise their agency and seek inspiration to live gospel standards.

“The best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth,” taught Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in Saturday morning’s general conference session. “The purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength” (“Jesus Christ Is the Strength of Youth,” Liahona, Nov. 2022, 10–11).

Youth are encouraged to use the principles in the guide to make righteous choices in all aspects of their lives. Parents, leaders, and youth may wish to study and share the guide at home, in Sunday meetings, and in activities, including camps and youth conferences. Young Men and Young Women leaders may wish to emphasize the principles found in the guide regularly. Those principles could also be the focus of an annual standards night for youth and their parents.

The new guide is available digitally in 50 languages in the Youth section of the Gospel Library and at youth.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Printed copies will soon be shipped to wards and branches worldwide.
