What is GivingTuesday?! GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.
#GivingTuesdayNow, a global day of unity will take place on May 5, 2020, as a response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19.
Check out this interview here with Tim from Milford TV on The Milford Informer! Jen Ward, the Director of the Youth Center, discusses all the great things happening at the Center and also how YOU can help continue to support our efforts!
The Center is currently responsible for raising funds to continue programming and this is why monetary donations are so important! Currently, the Town of Milford supports the salaries of two of our three full-time staff and the utilities and maintenance expenses. Therefore, by making a donation, you are contributing to helping us support and sustain physical fitness and educational programming held at the Center and now virtually! Due to our postponed St. Pat's Fundraiser and no rental revenue coming in, our two main sources of revenue, we find ourselves in a precarious situation, during this difficult time. We hope you will consider making a tax deductible donation today, on Giving Tuesday, and we will make sure to thank you on all of our social media platforms and in our next month's newsletter! Click here on how to donate! Thank you in advance and stay safe!
Milford Youth Center (MYC) mission is to provide a safe environment that promotes self esteem, builds character, and fosters the notion of community and the importance of respecting and serving others. For more information, click here.
The MYC works together with other community organizations to provide resources and opportunities for youth to make healthy decisions. The MYC works to provide local youth with the necessary activities and events that help them develop physically, mentally, socially and emotionally through their childhood years. By providing Milford youth with these types of programs and a safe environment during the after school hours and during our monthly events, we hope to address adolescent risk factors as well as promoting the partnership among community members to ensure a comprehensive vision and plan for the health of the youth in the town of Milford.
