How do local priesthood leaders help students succeed?
“The program is priesthood-based, and that is why it will succeed” (Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign, Nov. 2001, 53). • Area Presidencies provide leadership. • Stake presidents and bishops seek worthy young adults in need, help them enroll in institute, stay close to them, and sustain them. • Priesthood leaders also work with institute directors and Employment Resource Services directors, who help young adults see their potential; choose a career and a school; plan their finances; obtain funding from personal, family, and community resources; and work to achieve their goals. • Institute directors keep track of the students’ progress.
