May After School Program Updates!

The Milford Youth Center staff and commission would like to acknowledge the very generous donation of $25,000 to the Center last April by an anonymous donor. The Milford Youth Center’s After School Program is continuing to see over 100 youth each day and will only be able to provide more services and programs for the youth with such acts of giving.

Without the support of the many organizations, businesses, and individuals that support our Center, we would not be able to offer our youth the programs and activities that we do!

The Youth Center offers a variety of free services for local youths, ages 8-18. The Milford Youth Center houses a gym, game room, computer room and lounge. This month, youth can enjoy

Stress Free Zone, JAG Youth Council, Open Gym and wiffle ball! Click here for the May calendar! Youth must bring a filled out and signed registration form in order to attend the Center. You can find out all up-to-date info at our website: http://milfordyouthcenter.net

A newer program, Stress Free Zone, is run by Framingham State intern, Alison Julian.

The program is designed to introduce a strategy or activity that can help youth manage stress in their life. For example, through arts & crafts, music, mindfulness & relaxation, fitness, and theater (Photo to right shows youth creating stress balls)! The Center will host their second Sports Night on Friday,May 31st from 6-8 PM. This event will celebrate the importance of physical activity and sports!
