- The following are some "suggestions for helping young women with the transition into womanhood" (From First Presidency letter, Feb. 23, 2007):
Encourage mothers to help their daughters gain an understanding of the value of Relief Society.
Assign a Relief Society counselor the specific responsibility of working with young adult women until they successfully make the transition into Relief Society.
Provide new members of the Relief Society with meaningful callings, visiting teaching, and compassionate service assignments.
Have the Young Women and Relief Society sisters meet together occasionally in Home, Family and Personal Enrichment Meetings....
Emphasize provident living, homemaking and personal application of gospel principles in Mutual activities.
Hold a joint monthly opening exercise for Relief Society and Young Women, as authorized by the stake or mission president. (See First Presidency letter sent to priesthood leaders for details on the last item.)
