We cannot believe that it is March! We will continue our most popular scheduled programs: crafts, airplane flying, youth council, nutrition, nail salon, fit camp, boxing, quiet zone and iPad studio!
We will be starting an awesome new program called POUND, thanks to the support of the Milford Regional Healthcare Foundation! Instead of listening to music, you become the music in this exhilarating full-body workout that combines cardio, conditioning, and strength training with yoga and pilates-inspired movements. Using Ripstix®, lightly weighted drumsticks engineered specifically for exercising, POUND transforms drumming into an incredibly effective way of working out. Designed for all fitness levels, POUND® provides the perfect atmosphere for letting loose, getting energized, toning up and rockin’ out! The workout is easily modifiable and the alternative vibe and welcoming philosophy appeals to boys and girls of all ages and abilities. 
We are also bringing back our popular March Madness tourney, where youth of all ages participate all month in a double elimination 3 vs. 3 tournament. All the youth participants will receive a t-shit and trophies and medals will be awarded at the end of the month! Finally, we will also be offering a Youth Financial Program, thanks to Commerce Bank (A Division of Berkshire Bank)! Check out the full calendar for program offerings here! FYI: We will be closing at 5 PM on March 29th, due to our 9th Annual St.Pat’s Fundraiser!
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.
