What are the names for yw activities?

[semodex]

Please tell me if I'm right (newish to the church and trying to get it right!). I've been told I'm right or wrong, depending on who I talk to...

class activity: activity that involves only one class (like bee hives)

joint: activity that involves all three classes of yw

combined: activity that involves yw and ym

mutual: any of the above activities

Thanks!

[Gwen]

they sound right to me.

do they still use the term mutual?

[beefche]

That sounds about right.

Or I just call them all "hanging out with the zoo."

Some of the jargon will vary depending on your ward/stake.

Mutual is an old name from the '70's that the current YM/YW program was called. It stemmed from the older complete name of Mutual Improvement (Association(?) not sure of the last word), or MIA, for short, which came from the late '50's and '60's. Before that it was called M-Men and Gleaners (don't ask me why, it was waaaaay before my time.

Don't be surprised if people are using the terms inaccurately, sometimes it gets confusing, even for the leaders, to keep terms straight. If you're not sure what they're talking about, ask for clarification.

As far as I can tell all of those are right however mutual is also referred to as 'youth'

Thank you for the responses...all the terms (including mutual) are used in our ward!
