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 CraftRoots for Good!


Each month we thank an individual, business and/or organization who supports our efforts, this month we would like to extend an extra thank you to

CraftRoots for Good!


Michael Laird, a pastor who works with nonprofits had been looking for a chance to start a business to assist those in need. He acknowledged that an established business, such as CraftRoots Brewing, would be ideal and was what he had been looking for. Together, Michael Laird, Matthew Kelly and

 Hugh Leahy, recently described as “the trio” embarked on this journey together. Through CraftRoots Brewing, the trio started their charity, CraftRoots for Good. In short, all the brewery's profits, after employee wages and maintenance costs, will be donated to various charities. On November 16th, they hosted a soft opening and invited those chosen to benefit from this amazing opportunity, Milford Youth Center being one of them. Jen Ward, the Director was able to speak about the programs we offer and how honored, appreciative and excited we are to benefit from this opportunity! We want to wish the entire team the very best in all you do and for all those fortunate to be a part of your vision.


We would also like to recognize and thank the original CraftRoots team, Maureen, Robin and Irene for always being so supportive of the Center too!
