What is FSY?
For the Strength of Youth (FSY) conferences are five-day events that include activities, devotionals, and classes designed to help strengthen faith in Jesus Christ and provide opportunities for youth to grow spiritually, socially, physically, and intellectually. These events have been held extensively outside the United States and Canada for several years and are modeled after Brigham Young University’s Especially for Youth (EFY) conferences. In 2025, youth may attend beginning in the year they turn 14 and may be no older than 18 by the end of the session they plan to attend. Each stake will be invited every other year as "on cycle" but can also attend of the "off cycle" years if spots are available.
​
How much does it cost to attend?
You will be asked to pay $75 USD upon registration. If this will cause you undue financial hardship, please speak with a member of your bishopric before you register and they may use ward funds to cover the cost.
In addition, the stake or ward will pay $75 USD from the local unit budget allowance (LUBA) for each individual. The bishop may also use LUBA to help individuals when necessary. If desired, wards may use the annual fundraising effort to help offset the cost (see General Handbook: Serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints [2020], 20.6.8, ChurchofJesusChrist.org).
FSY is a high priority of the general leadership of the Church, and they have directed that FSY be available to all eligible youth and will, therefore, cover the majority of the conference cost.
When can I register and how?
Pre-registration opens on October 22nd, 2024 and will remain open until January 14, 2025. During pre-registration youth will be able to provide their personal information and select their preferred sessions from the options their stake is assigned to attend, shown on the FSY Assignments page. Youth may also choose to link together with friends, cousins, siblings, or others and select the same FSY session preferences. After the pre-registrations phase is over, session assignments will be given to each youth that completed their pre-registration. Youth will need to log in and submit payment to finalize their registration and secure their reserved spot.
Youth who do not complete pre-registration will still have an opportunity to register February 13-26, 2025. See the Registration Timeline for a list of other important dates.
