♥Personal Progress&Young Women♥: Young Women

The Young Women is often incorrectly reffered as Young Woman or Young Women's. The Young Women is an organization and an official auxilary of The Church of Jesus Christ Later Day Saints.(LDS Church).

The purpose of the Young Women organization is to help each young woman be worthy to make and keep sacred covenants and receive the ordinances of the temple.

The first official organization of The Church of Jesus Christ Later Day Saints was called Young Gentlemen’s and Young Ladies’ Relief Society (Which is now Young Men and Young Women) *Youth.

The Young Women organization of the Church was founded by President Brigham Young in 1869 as the Young Ladies' Department of the Cooperative Retrenchment Association.

At the organization's founding, Young set out his vision for the young women of the Church:

"I desire them to retrench from extravagance in dress, in eating and even in speech. The time has come when the sisters must agree ... to set an example worthy of imitation before the people of the world.... There is need for the young daughters of Israel to get a living testimony of the truth... We are about to organize a retrenchment Association, which I want you all to join, and I want you to vote to retrench in ... everything that is not good and beautiful, not to make yourselves unhappy, but to live so you may be truly happy in this life and in the life to come."

All females aged 12 to 17 are members of the Young Women. The organization is headed in each congregation by an adult woman who is called the Young Women President. The president is assisted by two counselors, who are also adult women. The presidency may also ask an adult woman to be the secretary to the presidency.

The Young Women are divided to 3 different classes and they've been given a nickname.
