The Gathering Place is a designated church location for Young Single Adults (YSA) and their friends to gather and participate in priesthood directed and YSA led experiences and activities. The focus of program is to strengthen the YSA spiritually, socially, emotionally, educationally, and professionally. There are Gathering Place locations throughout the Africa West Area, generally based in local Stake Centers.
In the Africa West Area of the Church, the Gathering Place programs have placed a particular emphasis on developing certificated vocational training programs to help YSA in their communities prepare themselves for improved employment opportunities. Although focusing on YSA and their friends, the training programs are made available to everyone in the community.
The instructors are volunteers, and many are certified by the National Vocational Training Institutes. There are regular assessments by the curriculum directors of the Training Institute, which allows the Gathering Place program to provide vocational certification to its participants.
