We are rapidly approaching the first day of our After School Program, and we are so excited to have everyone back for a new year! We are officially launching the After School Program on September 5th (must be registered to attend)! We would like to thank everyone who attended our Open House on August 30th to tour the facility and ask any questions about the program! We had such a great turnout!


This month the After School Program will be closed on Friday, September 15th in preparation for our annual fundraiser at CraftRoots in Milford, which will be from 6pm-9pm. On Friday, September 22nd we will be open from 10:30am-3:00pm for open gym and there will be no After School Program on Monday, September 25th in observance of Yom Kippur. For a look at the September calendar, click here.


This month the MYC is offering: 


  • Open Gym, Game Room, Dinner & Snack daily
  • Arts & Crafts
  • Fishing
  • Nail Painting
  • BINGO
  • Volleyball
  • Soccer
  • Dodgeball
  • Weight Room
  • Movie Night


The Youth Center’s after school program is open for Milford youth ages 8-18, free of charge, from 2:15-6:00 pm, Monday through Friday (see monthly calendar for any changes). Only students who are newly registered by 1PM each day will be allowed to attend (10 am on vacation weeks and for half days). Any forms received after 1PM (or 10 am on vacation weeks), will be allowed to attend the following program day, if completed correctly. This is to ensure we have adequate time to process registrations. For more information about the program, click here. If you are interested in volunteering, please click here!

Thank you Summer Camp Scholarship Campaign Contributors!


This month’s gratification post goes out to all of our Summer Camp Scholarship Campaign Contributors!


Every year we receive donations that help make our summer camp available for local youth in need! While we thank our donors at the time of receipt of the monetary donations, we thought it was important to recognize and thank them again collectively after such a successful 6 weeks of our camp program. We are so grateful to have the opppounity to offer scholarships to families in need!


On behalf of the Milford Youth Center, we would like to thank everyone who contributed to our summer camp scholarship campaign this year, which helped us reach almost $3,350 in donations:


• $1,000 – UniBank;


• $1,000 – Milford Federal Bank;


• $500 – Milford Lions Club;


• $500 – Ann Ferreira;


• $350 – Stephen and Kerry Pepe;


Thank you everyone for your continued support and generosity!
