Founded in 1990, Youth Choirs, Inc. (YouthCUE) seeks to nurture the development of youth choirs as tools to bring young people together in service to each other and to the world. Realizing that today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders in homes, churches, corporations, government, hospitals, and other organizations, YouthCUE seeks to instill the everlasting Word of God in them through song and leadership through the youth choir experience.

Additionally, YouthCUE seeks to minister to youth choir directors, providing them with a network of support, programs, and printed resources that will help them minister 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.
