Conduct at Youth Activities

The Savior Jesus Christ invites us to live as He did (see 3 Nephi 27:21), including at youth events and activities. The goal for every activity is to have fun, build faith, love and serve each other, and grow spiritually. Everyone benefits when we follow these guidelines. 

What to Do
These things can make the activity fun and uplifting:
  • Remembering Who You Are: Trust in the Lord, and follow the principles taught in For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices.
  • Respecting Privacy: Be smart about using media and social media. Ask permission before taking pictures or videos of others.
  • Being Safe: Create an environment where others feel safe, welcomed, and able to feel God’s love.
  • Keeping It Friendly and Fun: Be a friend; reach out and be kind to everyone. Remember, these events are about making friends, not about romance or drama.
  • Being Engaged: Participate in and contribute as an influence for good by being a light to others.
What Not to Do
These things distract from and are not allowed during the event or activity:
  • No Immorality: No talking about, encouraging, or engaging in any sexual activity. No immoral behavior, including making sexual advances. No sharing or viewing pornography.
  • No Harm: No bullying, threatening, or harming yourself or others in any way—physically, spiritually, or emotionally.
  • No Weapons or Harmful Substances: Do not bring dangerous or illegal items. Stay clean. Follow the Word of Wisdom.
  • No Stealing or Vandalism: Respect other people’s property.
  • No Disruptions: Cooperate. Do not skip activities, miss curfew, or leave without notifying leaders.
These guidelines keep everyone safe. If you do not follow them, your parents will be notified and you may have to go home. Leaders will also report crimes and other harmful or destructive incidents (including pranks) to local authorities as required by law.   

Remember the Savior’s example, keep it fun, and build faith!
