The Youth Department of the International F. & A.M. Masons & Order of the Eastern Stars was established in 1950 by Sister Virginia Minor (Supreme Youth Director) for the purpose of developing self esteem, pride and leadership abilities in the young people of her community. 

For more than twenty years the youth department has grown under the late leadership of Supreme Youth Director, Friend Alline Matthews.

The state of Michigan established a prospering youth department which was first organized by Mrs. Mary Kirksey of Roseville with the remarkable aid of Brother Earl Williams of Flint, Michigan.  The first court was in Flint and was known as Mary Kirksey Court and St. John Court and proudly bears the distinction of being the very first department dedicated to the annuals of youth for International F. & A. M. Masons.

The state of Michigan youth department is called Adam & Eve Grand Youth Court.  There are currently 19 active youth courts in the state of Michigan, Friend Otis Davis is Grand Youth Master and Friend Joan Scott is Grand Youth Matron.
