Preregistration for 2026 For the Strength of Youth (FSY) conferences in the United States and Canada is now open.
FSY conferences of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are five-day experiences where youth gather to strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ, build lasting friendships, and have fun in a safe, uplifting environment. These conferences take place each year in locations around the world.
Each stake in the United States and Canada is assigned a cycle (even years or odd years) to attend local sessions. For youth in stakes that are on-cycle, they can preregister for a higher likelihood of obtaining a spot in one of their preferred sessions and attending FSY with up to five other youth of their choice, as well as more time to resolve registration and account issues. Please note that no preferences are given to youth who preregister first; all youth who preregister have the same chance of being assigned to their preferred sessions.
To see if your stake is on-cycle and, if so, the sessions assigned to your stake, view the stake assignment page.
Preregistration Information for On-Cycle Stakes
- Youth must be approved by their bishopric before they can preregister for FSY.
- Youth in on-cycle stakes can preregister from October 21, 2025, through January 13, 2026.
- Session assignments must be finalized during January 15–28, 2026, for preregistration to be completed.
- To preregister for FSY, please visit FSY.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
If a youth in an on-cycle stake does not preregister, they can register later for remaining spaces. See the Registration Timeline for information and dates on the different phases of FSY registration.
Youth in off-cycle stakes who are interested in attending FSY in 2026 may visit the Registration Timeline for further updates.
Alternate FSY Sessions
Spanish and Spanish-supported sessions are available in select locations in the United States and are available during preregistration to stakes invited to those sessions. An American Sign Language (ASL) session and virtual sessions will be available for registration during On-Cycle Open Registration, beginning February 26, 2026.
Accommodations for dietary, disability, medical and other needs are also available. Learn more about FSY Conference Accessibility.
Why Attend FSY?
President Russell M. Nelson said, “I bless you to learn more about who you are and what your purpose really is, during this [FSY] conference” (“FSY Intro Video with President Nelson,” 2023).
FSY conferences are specifically designed to help youth have fun as they apply the gospel in all aspects of life. Youth at FSY have the opportunity to connect with peers from diverse backgrounds, learn from one another, practice gospel habits, and develop lasting friendships and powerful testimonies.
“To tell you the truth, I did not want to go to FSY,” says Eva, a former FSY participant. “I have anxiety, and I was purely terrified, ... [but] throughout the week it became more and more clear to me that this was where I was supposed to be, and that was what I needed.” She continues, “[FSY] is the thing that will change your life. Your confidence is going to be boosted, you’re going to feel the Spirit, you’re going to come closer to Christ, and you’re going to come to know yourself.”
