In our church, when the boys and girls turn 12, they enter a program called Young Women/Young Men. The girls work out of a book called "Personal Progress" with values in the areas of: Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice & Accountability, Good Works, Integrity and Virtue. When they have finished a certain amount in each area (which is usually by the time they are in their last year of high school), they work on a project that has a number of hours (I think it's 10 hours in each area). They then receive a medallion called the Young Women Medallion. At the end of each year, they hold a banquet showing the goals they've worked on up to that point.
I have a picture of all the girls but I am wondering where it is. I've organized all my files but can't find that picture. Anyway, imagine there's a picture of a bunch of teenage girls here. :)

| The start of one of their projects. Making a quilt. (I had material to make one that my mom sent me, but as part of their project I felt like they needed to have experience picking the fabrics out, figuring out how much we need and cutting it into squares). This is Xoe's material. |

| These are their journals the girls all made to record what they've done throughout the year. They also had a goal to read the Book of Mormon in 100 days and record their thoughts about their readings. Then pick a favorite scripture hero and share why. |

| Xoe & Morgan Myers. She's a Senior in High School and the girls love her to death. She's a really great example for them. |
