Stake Youth Leadership Committee (SYLC)

SLYC 2025 Spiritual Thought Rotation Schedule

Stake Youth Leadership Committee Meeting
The stake youth leadership committee meets as needed. The purpose of this committee is to help youth in the stake participate in the work of salvation and exaltation.
A member of the stake presidency presides over this committee. Other committee members include:

The stake Young Men presidency (and secretary if called).
The stake Young Women presidency (and secretary if called).
The high councilors assigned to the Young Women and Primary organizations.

The stake presidency may invite the stake Sunday School president to serve as a member of this committee.
The stake presidency invites youth to participate on this committee as needed.
Committee members counsel together about how to support ward organization leaders in the work of salvation and exaltation. They plan ways to help implement the stake council’s vision for this work in the stake.
As part of this discussion, committee members may do the following:

Plan service and activities for youth in the stake. These could include youth conferences, dances, devotionals, and multistake events. Youth should lead out in planning and carrying out these activities as much as possible. Stake activities should not be so frequent that they place a burden on wards. These activities should supplement ward activities, not compete with them. Ward leaders should be notified of stake activities well in advance.
Plan ways to support For the Strength of Youth conferences.
Coordinate stake efforts related to the Children and Youth program.

Meetings of this committee could be extensions of stake council meetings. For example, at the end of some stake council meetings, the youth leadership committee could meet to continue a discussion about specific matters.
