MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Youth Incorporated's Mission is to advance the mental, moral, and physical development of boys and girls through a variety of sports, outdoor recreational activities, hunting, camping, and employment. Our motto is "Building Leaders for Tomorrow." We believe that if you place young people under the supervision of competent, trained moral leaders and challenge their minds and bodies, the end product is a good citizen who will grow into a self reliant adult. For over 60 years Youth Incorporated has encouraged active lifestyles and healthy living for the youth of Middle Tennessee. Our founder Allen Dobson would be proud of the many organizations who support outdoor recreation and youth sports in today's world. Together we can make a positive difference in the youth of middle Tennessee.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Summer Camp Program Circle YI Camp is a summer camp for boys & girls located on beautiful Percy Priest Lake in LaVergne in Rutherford County, just southeast of Nashville. The first camp began in 1946. It has operated at its current location since 1955, when Allen Dobson deeded a 600 acre farm to Youth Incorporated to serve as a new camp site. The facility includes 18 cabins, which can accommodate 120 campers per session, a camp Lodge for indoor activities, an air conditioned dinning hall and dormitory that sleeps 40. There is a 35' x 75' swimming pool, horseback trail rides, a low and high ropes course, Zip line, and a 40' Climbing tower. A waterfront area with canoeing & boats for water skiing, tubing, and knee boarding are also available. A separate brochure detailing camp facilities and activities is also available upon request. USA Inline Hockey Leagues Youth Inline Hockey continues to grow with the addition in 2015 of our Parent Advisory Board to assist in hockey operations. Bolstered by the success of the Nashville Predators, Youth Inc. Hockey is growing and maintains a successful non checking form of In-Line Hockey for children ages 7 to 17. Youth Inc. has two hockey rinks currently active for league play in Bellevue at the Bellevue Exchange Club / Youth Incorporated Sports Complex and LaVergne at the Veterans Memorial Park. The spring 2015 season is underway with 100 children participating. History: Youth Incorporated built Davidson County's first inline rink in the Bellevue area and was opened in the fall 2001. Soon it was followed by a rink in Lavergne and another in Spring Hill, giving Youth Incorporated a total of three rinks in the Middle Tennessee area. Since the fall of 2001 thousands of children from Kindergarten to High School have participated in inline hockey at our facilities. Junior Pro Basketball Junior Pro Basketball has combined with the Jr. Grizzlies a Metro Parks and Recreation league. The two leagues serve the Antioch community and with the addition of the Southeast Community Center's new gym the leagues combined to consolidate efforts. Youth Incorporated sponsors the year end tournament for the Jr. Grizzlies. The year end tournament was not part of their program but has added excitement for the athletes as they participate in their own March Madness!!! Youth Hunting Program Youth Incorporated is partnering with Franktown Youth to provide hunting opportunities on the 175 acres of Camp YI. The youth must have completed their hunter safety and be sponsored by Franktown Youth. The novice hunters will be taught wildlife management, habitat enhancement, tracking, outdoor survival, conservation, and hunting techniques through this program.
