MYG was created by Dresden C. During his term as Master Councilor, he quickly noticed that getting people to know about events and attend them was hard. He first started with a website that worked okay but faced another problem; the youth themselves would not use it. Having it be controlled from a website also proved to be a very time-consuming process and changes to an event’s date, time, and location would often get missed. For these reasons, he surmised that an app would be a much better approach to making the events known to everybody.

With the MYG app, a user can select from as many Assemblies, Bethels, Chapters, or State calendars as they want to by simply clicking a checkbox. The user can see what events are coming up, when and where they are, get any details that the local group decides to share publicly, and get directions to the event easily. If there is a change, everybody sees that change right away.

Maintaining the calendar for everybody is also extremely fast and simple now as MYG uses public Google Calendars. All an Assembly, Bethel, or Chapter has to do is update their calendar, which most already maintain, and that then keeps everybody in the know.

The MYG app is extremely secure as no personal data is ever collected or stored in the App. Each public calendar is maintained by the local Rainbow Assembly, Jobie Bethel, or DeMolay Chapter leaving them in complete control over deciding what they want to share with users of the app!

All you need to have for your events to get listed is a public Google Calendar. Instructions for setting up a Google Calendar and submitting the Calendar ID for inclusion can be found on this page.

MYG stands for Masonic Youth Groups and the app is used to help the youth know when activities are, both within their local Assembly, Bethel, and Chapter, and also at other Assemblies, Bethels, and Chapters along with state level activities. With MYG, you have the fastest way to stay up to date on what’s happening.
