Category:Young Women General Presidencies

The Young Women is the official organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for girls between the ages of 12 and 18. It is part of the church's General Auxiliaries. It was founded as the Young Ladies' Department of the Cooperative Retrenchment Association in 1869. In 1871, the name was changed to the Young Ladies' Retrenchment Association. It was again changed a few years later to the Young Ladies' National Mutual Improvement Association. It wasn't until 1880, however, that a general presidency was organized to oversee the organization for the entire Church. The name was changed a few more times (Young Ladies' Mutual Improvement Association and Young Women's Mutual Improvement Association) before finally being organized as the Young Women in 1974.

The organization is led by a General President and her two counselors. Each stake and ward also has a presidency that oversees the organization within their respective units, but this category focuses on those at the Church-wide level.
