YouthCUE Festival of Praise
Founded in 1990, Youth Choirs, Inc. (dba YouthCUE) is a non-profit interdenominational organization which seeks to "radically impact the lives of youth" through the youth choir experience. Currently, YouthCUE is the largest organization in the world, with roughly 30,000 youth in-network, that directly prepares and equips them to be leaders and ministers in their lives.
Additionally, YouthCUE seeks to minister to youth choir directors, providing them with a network of support, programs, and printed resources that will help them in-turn minister more effectively to their choirs. Over the past decade, YouthCUE has breathed new life into youth music in churches and schools and has been largely credited with the resurgence of youth choirs across the country. The expanding network of youth choir directors now represents forty states, six countries, and eleven denominations.
