Happy August everyone! As of now, there is no decision on how the After School Program will operate and/or open come the new school year. The Youth Center, Youth Commission and Town will make an announcement after there is a decision on how and whether the schools will be opening for the beginning of the school year. MYC staff have been and will continue to meet with the Town, including personal from the Milford Public Schools and the Board of Health, to make a decision that is in the best interest of the community and the Youth Center. Thank you for your patience and understanding.This month we will be continuing with some small group and virtual programming! Small Group Programs include:
