Young Women’s: Completing Handicrafts for Value Projects

Many of the value projects include learning a new skill or craft for Young Women’s. A lot of homemaking skills are becoming a lost art and it would be wonderful for your daughter or young women to learn them.

As a parent or young women’s leader, it can be hard to help the young women progress forward, since so much of the book is personal application, individual reading or journal … Continue reading →
