Adventure Guides

School years are a time of discovery and rapid learning as children are becoming much more aware of the world around them. While they are beginning to see things differently as they progress, the Y wants to provide parents with a way to stay close to their kids (K-9th grade). We also want to challenge our kids and help them learn new skills, so why not do it as a family and with others? That is where the Y Adventure Guides program comes in as it is purposefully designed for both you as a parent and your children to grow as a family while enjoying the great outdoors. Y Adventure Guides also provides opportunities to make new friends with other kids and parents, as well as a place where kids can be kids and parents can play right along with them. For further details, check out the program brochure and flyer on the right, and to sign up, contact Twin Lakes Family YMCA Member Services Desk at (512) 250-9622 today!

Teen Court

Teen Court is a volunteer learning program for teens (between the ages of 13-17) from any school district in which they will not only be taught and work as an attorney, bailiff and judge in real court hearings, but will actually help determine the sentence of real cases involving teens filed in either Justice Court or Municipal Court. In this forum, individual cases are defended and prosecuted by teen attorneys in front of a teen judge and the verdict is rendered by a jury of teens. Teen Court is also a voluntary program holding teenaged defendants (persons between the ages of 10 and 17 who have received a Class C misdemeanor, plead guilty or no contest, have not been before Teen Court within the last two years and have received permission from a judge and a parent to participate in the program) accountable for their offenses by allowing them to perform community service, to serve jury duty and to attend educational programs in lieu of paying fines for Class C misdemeanors.

The Williamson County Teen Court is a partnership between Judge Edna Staudt, Justice of the Peace, Pct. 2, and the YMCA of Greater Williamson County. The Teen Court is also run and supervised by many adult volunteers – such as lawyers, judges, educators and parents. Of note, Teen Court programs have consistently proven effective in reducing the rate of teen repeat offenses. Participation in this Teen Court program gives teens an opportunity to realize their roles in the community, instills a sense of pride and responsibility and, through the use of positive peer pressure, helps create a better community for all.

Teen Court is held at the Justice County Courtroom in the Williamson County Annex at 350 Discovery Blvd. in Cedar Park. Training sessions and court dates are held monthly (download the schedule on the right for specific dates) from 6:30 p.m. – 8:45 p.m. Of note, staff should arrive between 6:00 p.m. – 6:15 p.m. on court nights. For more information, please download the program brochure on the right or contact Kyle Davis at the Twin Lakes Family YMCA at (512) 615-7425 or kdavis@ymcawilliamsonco.org.
