Single adult

Single adult is the term used in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to describe any unmarried person over the age of 30. Like their younger namesakes, the young single adults, the single adults enjoy a whole range of activities where they can meet and interact with many people of their own age group and beliefs.

Young single adult

Young single adult (abbreviated YSA) is a category used in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to describe an unmarried adult between the ages of 18 and 30. [cite web|url=http://www.mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/basic-beliefs/glossary/glossary-definition/young-single-adults|title=Glossary definition: Young Single Adults|publisher=Intellectual Reserve, Inc.|accessdate=2008-08-06]

There are many activities arranged within the church where the YSA can mingle amongst each other, get to know one another better and spend time with people of their own age group, standards, and beliefs. The activities range from fun based activities such as dances or weekend conventions, to religious instruction such as Institute of Religion classes or Firesides.

The main aim of the YSA program within the church is to provide single members with the opportunity to meet people they would like to date, and hopefully marry, who share the same beliefs and goals in life.
