Youth Incorporated has been impacting teens and young adults for over two decades in the Evansville area. Started in 1990, Youth Inc. quickly became a nationally known and frequent stop for popular christian rock bands from around the country. Youth Inc. was able to minister to the “at risk” youth who attended concerts and followed the music scene. The purpose then and now is to actively show teens and young adults the love of Christ while accepting them for who they are.

As Youth Inc. has grown over the years, our passion for loving the unloved and accepting the rejected has carried on and developed into other avenues such as the S.M.I.L.E. Network founded in 2001 that offers developmental programs, assistance, and encouragement to people with Down Syndrome and their families.

Rising from underground in 2003, Youth Inc. opened Wired Coffeehouse and Music Venue. At Wired, our goal is to encourage and edify people through community, music, and the arts while developing and deepening relationships which earn us the right to be a voice in their lives.

In 2005, Youth Inc. flipped the switch and hit the airwaves with WYIR, a positive alternative music radio station.

As always our goal at Youth Incorporated is to be a light to the community we live in and throughout the world by following the example of Jesus. We will love the unloved, accept the rejected, encourage the broken-hearted, stand for truth, and sacrifice our comforts in this life for the sake of sharing Christ’s love with the world around us and beyond.
