The Church provides many resources that can help strengthen youth. Parents, leaders, teachers, grandparents, fellow ward members, and friends should be aware of these resources so we can use them in our homes and at church.

Most of these resources are available in print, online, and in the Gospel Library app.

This is also where you’ll find an archive of past Face to Face event broadcasts. Check it out at lds.org/youth/activities.
