BYU Youth Programs
Especially for Youth specialty programs provide spiritually, socially, and intellectually enriching experiences.

“Thank you so much for giving me the ability to attend this EFY session as it has honestly changed the course of my life for the better and has shown me God’s love for me. Thank you for being a part of bringing me closer to God by helping present that opportunity. I’ll always appreciate the aid you and anyone else give me to be able to grow closer to God. Thank you so much.”
—Michael, EFY participant

“I have loved dancing with BYU Youth Dancesport! My goal is to continue working hard, making friends, improving my dancing both individually and on team and hopefully creating the opportunity to compete on the Youth A team and eventually on the BYU Tour Team. Your kindness has been such a blessing to me and my family! May that blessing be returned to you abundantly.”
—Sarah, BYU Dance Camps participant
