Overview for Young Women
Purpose of Personal Progress
from lds.org
Personal Progress will help you strengthen your faith in and
testimony of Jesus Christ as you learn His teachings and regularly apply them
in your life.
The Personal Progress program uses the eight Young Women values
to help you understand more fully who you are, why you are here on the earth,
and what you should be doing as a daughter of God to prepare for the day you go
to the temple to make sacred covenants. It will help you prepare for your
future roles as a faithful woman, wife, mother, and leader in God’s kingdom.
Participating in Personal Progress teaches you to make commitments, carry them
out, and report your progress to a parent or leader. The patterns you establish
as you work on Personal Progress—such as prayer, scripture study, service, and
journal keeping—will become personal daily habits. These habits will strengthen
your testimony and help you learn and improve throughout your life.
