Adopt a Youth Program

A large number of our youth are converts or new to the church. Some are the only members of the church in their families. Most of our youth cannot afford to pay the full cost of the church activities they attend. 

This year, we encourage you to sponsor a young man or young woman to help cover his or her costs of attending church activities. The cost of all yearly activities for one youth is $600.  You are welcome to donate the full amount, or any partial amount, to sponsor a youth.  Or you can simply donate to the program as a whole. 

To participate, look at the profiles of our outstanding and inspiring youth on the right side of this website. Listen to their testimonies and hear why they want to attend church youth activities.


For a non-tax deductible donation, simply make a check out to "Glendale 2nd Ward."  In the memo line of the check, write "YM/YW" or "YM/YW - (name of the youth)" to sponsor a specific youth.  

You may mail the check to our Young Women President, Tish Mayer at:

3853 Legion Lane

Los Angeles, CA 90038 

For a tax-deductible donation, take a tithing slip, write  "YM/YW" or "YM/YW - (name of the youth)" on the "Other" line of the tithing slip, and return it with your donation to a member of the Glendale 2nd Ward Bishopric.  Please keep your yellow copy of the tithing slip for your records.  Donations in the "other" category do not automatically appear in your year-end donations report, so you will need to keep your tithing slip receipt as proof of your donation.

Thank you!
