Leader Training and Videos

The self-reliance initiative is directed by priesthood leaders. The initiative is a tool that leaders can use to help care for others. In the initiative, much of the work takes place in small groups. These groups combine practical skills with gospel principles to help people strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ and overcome temporal challenges. Groups are focused on one of four topics: employment, education, personal finances, or starting and growing a small business.
