EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s and Men’s Basketball teams have already been putting in work for the 2024-25 season during summer workouts. Both squads have also been giving back to the community through service work this summer. Recently, the Screaming Eagles partnered and helped serve with Young and Established in Evansville.

Young and Established (Y&E), a local nonprofit started by USI alum Courtney Johnson, is committed to bettering the community through inspiration and motivation of the young. Y&E provides a safe space for young people filled with washers and dryers, food and hygiene pantries, free WiFi, computers, tablets, a clothing bank, community garden and recreational games.

Each Wednesday at 2 p.m., Y&E partners with Wal-Mart to pass out food to the community. On June 19 and June 26, the USI Women’s and Men’s Basketball teams (respectively) helped pass out food to more than 1,000 people in Evansville!
