You want him to be strong in the church because God loves him. Not because the Church is tedious. Please, don't burden yourself and him or become guilt ridden. Do one thing that gets you and him out of hyour comfort zone or that you might not have done, and then you call it good. so many of the Young women's value projects, etc, are just things the girls are doing anyway. They aren't stretching. When you have a child that doing just a little more is stretching, that's problably more of an accomplishment than for a lot of these kids that complete it. Just do one thing. Just one thing, and then applaude both you and him, and move on with your busy schedule. Maybe next Sunday do one more thing. If standing up and getting the award is something that will make him feel good, then you decide how much he needs to do to stretch a little without feeling burdened, and then get him the award.
I've had kids want it. I've had two that refused to do it because they didn't want to be forced into doing something like that. They turned out okay.
Good luck.

HOpe this makes sense. Don't have time to reread. I have one of those kids who needs help with homework.
I would love to hear how it goes.
