* Lights Out Program Handout for Young Women
* Missed You Cards
* Spiritual Sisters

These idea below were passed on to me from Sharma Worthen Anderson, she has collected these over the years, if some one recognizes an idea that is theirs, please let me know and I will give you full credit! Thanks Liz

* For me what’s worked best is to simply love the youth back into activity.  Take them out for pizza, invite them over for Nintendo or a movie, have quorum or class members invite them into their homes.  It’s not a difficult concept, it just takes lots of time and compassion. — from a reader in Atlanta
* Have the youth in the presidency call less active youths every week to let them know they were missed.
* Volunteer to pick up less active youths for church activities.
* Have the youth ask the less active youths for their suggestions for activities.  The more they’re involved the more responsive they’ll be.
* In our Young Women’s we had our class make a video for a class activity.  We borrowed a video camera and then video taped our activity of making cookies and introducing ourselves. Then we delivered a plate of cookies and the video tape to the young women who is inactive.  She loved it and was able to get to know the girls and their names by watching the video. — T. Amendola
