Emerald Youth Foundation (TEAM)
 
 
 
Emerald Youth Foundation is located in Knoxville, TN and aims to reconnect urban young people to home, school, church, and their communities, creating effective leaders who will transform Knoxville from the inside out. This "reconnection" is done through three ministries developed by Emerald Youth – JustLead, Emerald Youth Sports and Calling and Career. JustLead is an urban, church-based youth leadership development program. Emerald Youth Sports is a program providing fun and wellness, skills and competitive athletics. Calling and Career is a high school to young adult transition program. Through Emerald Youth's ministries, urban young people are provided fun and meaningful relational growth experiences through the following outcomes areas: faith, learning, and health. AmeriCorps members with Emerald Youth serve primarily in JustLead with a focus on learning. Since AmeriCorps is a federally funded program, members are not allowed to accrue hours for any faith/spiritual/religious activities. Any AmeriCorps members who would like to participate in these activities, would have to do so voluntarily - completely separate from their AmeriCorps service.
