Self-Reliance is the ability to provide the necessities of life for ourselves and our family members.

The SRS manager is to seek personal revelation and proactively:

1. Focus on priorities of the First Presidency and Area Presidency
2. Achieve self-reliance objectives as outlined in the Annual Area Self-Reliance Plan*
3. Support Area Seventies, those with priesthood keys, and Stake Self-Reliance Committees
4. Develop and share a network of resources that will bless members

These purposes are accomplished by:

• Proactively identifying challenges, raising issues, making recommendations for solutions and influencing priesthood leaders in support of self-reliance efforts in a designated geographic area.
• Providing logistical support and ensuring delivery of standard services including assessments, individualized mentoring, training, materials, and resources to stake self-reliance resource centers and groups.
• Cultivating relationships with senior business, educational, financial, government, and community leaders; coordinate with vocational/technical training and educational institutions; works with banks, micro credit, NGOs, and other financial institutions, all for the purpose of linking un/underemployed members to needed resources.
• Leading assigned full-time missionaries, church-service missionaries, and volunteers in supporting self-reliance efforts. Reports to the Area Self-Reliance Manager.
