Personal Progress is a program that begins when a girl turns 12 and enters the Young Woman program of our church. Within this booklet are several values and experiences that a young woman completes and records.
Among other things, the purposes of the program is to help young women draw closer to the Savior, serve others, learn leadership skills, and develop relationships. It helps young women prepare for the future and learn skills that can prepare them for what awaits them in life.
Part of the Personal Progress is to accomplish 10 hour projects’ that can be completed with other young women. These projects help young women to learn leadership skills to be used in future roles such as a wife, mother, and homemaker. A young woman also learns how to organize, communicate, and complete a difficult task.
Lizzy, and her friend Bailee decided to create a Kids' Camp for kids 2 through 7 in the neighborhood. They spent hours organizing, and preparing for this camp. All young moms that might welcome a break from their toddlers were distributed a flyer, regardless of their religious affiliation. The camp was one week, Monday through Friday from 10 to 12.
Each day was filled with fun activities and snacks. They created crafts, watched a movie, had game day, water activities, and a challenge course. At the end of the week each happy camper was given a hippo cupcake and prize to take home.
Most days Tiffany supervised and helped the girl's prepare for the camp. I was so grateful to Tiffany for helping the girls fulfill their Personal Progress Project.
Lizzy and Bailee couldn't have been cuter. They were so patience, kind, and full of energy while supervising these activities with 18 to 21 kids a day. The girl's learned leadership skills, organizing skills, developed many wonderful relationships, and were of service to these young moms.
It is an experience Lizzy and Bailee will cherish for the rest of their lives. Hopefully, this experience has prepared them for future roles in their lives.
