Welcome to the Young Women Committee Page!


About the Committee

    The Young Women Committee was established to help encourage and
    organize the young women to be active members of LWML. The
    committee is responsible for the Young Women program in the
    Washington-Alaska District and establishes and reviews guidelines
    and forms for young women to attend the national LWML convention
                   every two years.


From Pam Rafferty, Vice-President of Special Focus Ministries:

The Young Women and Heart to Heart Sisters Committee is looking forward to the District Convention in Everett, WA, June 21-23, 2024. The theme for this convention is Strong in the Lord and the verse is taken from Ephesians 6:10: Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his mighty power. In Christ’s perfect strength, we are empowered to be strong for Him to accomplish the work He has set out for us to do. God has also already established who will attend the 2024 convention. Is it you? Is it a young woman or a Heart-to-Heart sister whom He wants to be there to hear His word, to worship, to fellowship with other LWML sisters, to participate in servant events, and to have fun?!

Our committees are requesting your help in sharing information about the convention with all women but especially the young women and the Heart-to-Heart Sisters, women of all nations. Encourage them to attend, share your story of past favorite keynote speakers, mission speakers or Christian Life skits. Please copy and share the convention information with the young women (ages 18–35) and
Heart to Heart - Sisters of all Nations of your local groups with personal invitations for them to experience the blessings and joy that we all receive through LWML and at convention.

Young Woman Representatives (YWR) Program

District YWRs are selected at the society or zone level to participate in the biennial LWML Washington-Alaska District Convention. District YWRs participate in special programming geared towards young women, and also learn more about LWML at the district level.

 Young Woman Representatives at LWML Conventions

Two young women are selected by the Young Women Committee to attend the national LWML convention as representatives of our district. These young women (known as National YWRs) attend the convention alongside their District President, as well as participate in a special program geared toward young women provided by the LWML Committee on Young Women. As National YWRs, they will be asked to share their experience at the national convention at the society, zone or district level. National YWRs will also participate at the district level by serving on a committee for at least two years after attending the LWML convention.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
