Teen Programs
Today’s teens are tomorrow’s leaders! The YMCA of Austin offers opportunities to prepare those teens to make smarter life choices. Through the Y programs they are allowed to contribute to their communities while investing in their personal growth and exploring their unique talents and interests.
The YMCA of Austin gives teens a place to call their own, a safe environment for youth from ages 12-18, where they can find a balance between freedom and responsibility. Fun is also a focus at the Y: here they can make friends, play sports, stay active and participate in challenging activities.
YMCA of Austin Teen programs and activities include:
Youth and Government Program:
YMCA Texas Youth & Government is a statewide civic education and leadership development institute in which YMCAs, schools, and community organizations involve students in hands-on learning experiences. YMCA Youth and Government allows middle and high school students to experience the excitement of our state government in action. Students meet regularly as a club during the fall semester. Each club consists of participating students and an adult sponsor (usually a teacher) and is guided by YMCA staff and volunteers. Students choose to participate in one of four areas: legislative, judicial, media, or state affairs forum.
