New Beginnings should be held at the beginning of the calendar year for young women, their parents, and priesthood and Young Women leaders. This event helps young women and parents anticipate and plan for the events of the coming year, informs them about the purposes of the Young Women program, and motivates young women in Personal Progress experiences. It also provides an opportunity for expressions of love and concern and acknowledgement of young women's accomplishments.
Segments of the Young Women Leadership Training videocassette (53015) can help parents become familiar with the purposes of the Young Women program.- Young Women Leadership Handbook, p. 9
