Thomas S. Monson

"Today the world is competitive, more than it`s ever been. I believe men and women need to get a type of education which will enable them to meet the exigencies of life ... Men and women need to be prepared for a vastly broader scope than we have ever had before".

 

Hinkley

“It is incumbent upon every member of the Church, as a mandate from the Lord, to get all the education you can get.”

“Education becomes the key of opportunity for everyone in this life. It may involve sacrifice, it may involve unusual effort, but with the help of heaven, it can be had.”
Gordon B. Hinckley

HOW TO LAUNCH YOUR FUTURE

THE YOUNT PROGRAM FOR EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT

AMONG LDS CHURCH MEMBERS, EDUCATION IS AN ETERNAL QUEST

. . . But it’s getting more complicated.

HE YOUNT WEBSITE AND SEMINAR ARE BEING REVISED TO BETTER SERVE A BROADER MIX OF LDS CHURCH MEMBERS.

   Some need more help in preparing for college. Others need higher levels of success or help to avoid future college dropout. Still others need alternative forms of educational advancement.

   Parent guidelines for preparing children for college and financing college will also be included. Closer connections between spiritual endeavors and school endeavors will be stressed.

   The new Church emphasis on self-reliance and frugality will be covered. In general loans will be limited to $3,000 per year, $6,000 total for attendance at schools close to home.

   Special customized seminar materials for different groups of members will be provided.

   We ask your patience during the revision of both the website and the materials placed upon it.

   Most of the changes should be in place by the end of November. 

  • We live within an explosion of knowledge and technology
  • Tenure in most jobs is shrinking; job upgrade training is required more frequently
  • Schooling costs are rising geometrically
  • School access is getting more complicated
  • The complexities of life make dropout more likely
