December has some great programs in store to keep all of our members warm and active! We will continue with the boxing program which is proving to be a popular choice and adding soccer and yoga! We will also be offering a great new program on Tuesdays and Thursdays called “LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!!” where kids will be able to explore the art of skit writing, filming, and acting with Karen Kelly! We will continue homework help, quiet zone, youth council, crafts, nutrition and Alateen! Please note that we will not be open for kids on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve or News Years Day. We will be open December 26-28 from 12-3 PM but will not have after school programs! Check out the full calendar for program offerings here!
The Milford Youth Center has become the focal point for the children of Milford. It hosts many different activities and events throughout the year for the youth of Milford and/or the Milford Schools. The Milford Youth Center’s after school program is open for youth ages 8-18, free of charge, from 2-6 pm, Monday through Friday (check monthly calendar, website and social media for any changes due to weather, holidays or vacation weeks). All Youth members must be picked up by time of closing (unless they walk home). Pick up is outside of the building on 24 Pearl St. Please visit our website for both our weather policy and traffic control plan.
All participants must fill out a registration form annually to be a member. Once this form is completed and returned to the Center, the member will be provided with a key tag and ID number. (if they are new members to the program). This will be how the Youth Center staff will track attendance. Therefore, all members are required to bring in their key tag in order to enter the facility. If key tag is lost, the Center will charge $1.00 for replacement.
The game room, lounge and gymnasium will be offered daily. There will be structured programs that participants must sign up for to participate in. Members are also able to use our washer and dryer, free of charge during operation hours. The Center also offers a free snack and dinner program, due to the collaboration of CACFP, Hockomock Area YMCA and the Milford School Food & Nutrition Services department.
Volunteers are always welcome to assist with the after-school program or during the morning hours! We are always looking for help during the after school hours, 2-6 PM. You may also run a program/activity during the after-school program. We also need volunteers for our monthly evening events. Please contact us here if you would like to volunteer.
