First Thursday of the month is YAPI open mic nite for youth at Maui Wowi.

Perform with your instrument of choice, sing, dance, juggle, do yoyo tricks!  Whatever......  6-8 pm.    We are grateful for the sound system provided by grants to YTC.

Watch for emails about other YTC activities.

Winter Camp, anyone?  If you want to have some extra fun during spring break, we are planning to have 3 days of camp at the Youth Zone facility!

YTC serves youth ages 8-17 in the Wimberley Valley.

Youth Taking Charge Summer Day Camp offers

Fun - Creative Arts like music, rhythms, songwriting, martial arts
Adventure - Team activities, healthy spontaneity, & environmental awareness
Experience - Hands-on learning in an event-based smoothie operation

YTC defines mentoring as a dedicated relationship where mentor and mentee co-create success over and over again.

Youth gain:

• Core life skills
• Healthy communication and relationship skills
• Problem-solving and conflict resolution skills
• Healthy self-image and self-expression with personal development tools
• Action plan with one-to-one mentor and group support
• Evaluative measures to chart progress

Imagine a young person who experiences life as creative and filled with emotional and behavioral options. For each youth who gains experience with healthy choices, a different world is created.

The YTC program provides opportunities for each participant to gain healthy self-esteem, expanded self-esteem, increased self-discipline and a compelling self-image. Self-image is more than a concept. The consequences of youth living impoverished lives directly affects our community. And the consequences of youth living enriched lives prepares the way for a safer and healthier community.
