Emerald Youth Foundation

Since Emerald Youth Foundation launched more than 25 years ago, our Christian mission has centered on developing young leaders in the heart of Knoxville. We are encouraged by the stories of those who have grown up to become godly mothers and fathers, neighborhood coaches, Sunday school teachers, church board members, teachers, managers, business owners and civic leaders. Yet, despite these abundant stories of inspiration and hope, our community faces ongoing challenges that require a continued commitment to change.
