Virtual FSY Sessions
For youth who cannot attend FSY in person or who prefer a home-based experience, Virtual FSY allows them to experience FSY in a virtual setting. This fully online experience includes activities such as devotionals, classes, a variety show, and games that have been adapted for a virtual setting. Similar to what is done at in-person sessions, participants will be placed in counselor groups, and Young Single Adults (YSA) will lead many of the activities.
Registration Information
Youth will not be charged to attend this session. The ward will be billed $75 USD or $100 CAD for participation. Materials such as an FSY t-shirt, handbook, and drawstring bag will be shipped to youth who are registered.
As these sessions are available to all stakes in the United States and Canada, they will not be shown in the stake assignment search or the list of available sessions during preregistration. For youth whose stakes that are on-cycle, these sessions will be available during on-cycle open registration. Should space be available, registration for youth whose stakes that are off-cycle will be available during off-cycle registration. See the
