POSTPONED to 2021 – FSY Registration

Due to the ongoing impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, it has become necessary to postpone For the Strength of Youth (FSY) conferences held in 2020 in the U.S. and Canada to now be held in 2021. Refunds will automatically be made to those who have registered.

Brothers and Sisters-

Today is officially the first day that registration for FSY camps is open. There has been some confusion about this since it is the first time. I think we have gotten things worked out on our end.

1) Your child must be registered for an LDS account in order to register. This requires an email and your child’s membership number which can be found on LDS tools. If you have difficulty please reach out to a member of the bishopric for help. Each youth must be approved by the bishop, but I cannot approve them until they have a church account set up. Everyone that currently has an account should already be approved. If there is a problem, or once the account is set up please reach out to me to get them approved.

2) Your youth is able to go to FSY is they are turning 14 this year and older. They are not eligible if they are graduating high school or older in 2020.

3) Wards and stakes will NOT be signing up together for a particular week. Choose a week and location that works for you. With all of the changes this year in the youth program we have gotten behind on dates for multi-day youth camps for the young men. We will have those figured tonight.

4) The cost of FSY is $150.00. $75 will be required from you and the ward will cover the other $75. Because of this please make sure to cancel as soon as possible if you find out that you will not be able to make it the week that you sign up, so we can avoid this charge.

If you have any questions please reach out to me or one of my councilors.

Here is a link directing to a web address where you can begin the registration process:

Bishop Harwood

Service Opportunity

This last August during the United Nations event a service project in conjunction with Feeding Children Everywhere was completed. JustServe was able to help with the need for volunteers, around 4000, to help the project be successful. Many meals were assembled to help the poor.

This years Silicone Slopes Tech Summit will be held Jan. 27-Jan. 31, 2020 and a similar service project will be happening. They will need help with volunteers as well.

Many members of the community have expressed desire to help so the project is posted on the JustServe website. Here is information regarding JustServe.org and the “Fight Hunger With Silicon Slopes” project:

  • There are many wonderful opportunities for service listed on JustServe.org.
  • Working in partnership with JustServe and community organizations and businesses, the “Fight Hunger With Silicon Slopes” service project will be held in conjunction with the Silicon Slopes Tech Summit January 30-31 in the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City.
  • One million meals will be assembled and packaged with partner, Hunger Fight, and shared with the Utah Food Bank for distribution to those in need within the state of Utah.
  • Those attending the Tech Summit will be invited to participate in the project but – because of its scale – anyone else who would like to participate is also invited.
  • Those interested in participating can go to the following link on the JustServe website to sign up: https://www.justserve.org/projects/5ea93258-9d16-402e-b343-2d2247a741d0
