The Milford Youth Center would like to invite the community to our eighth annual St. Pat's Fundraiser on Friday, March 23, 2018 ! Please consider joining us for our largest fundraiser of the year at a fun new location, CraftRoots Brewing, which is located at 4 Industrial Rd., in Milford from 7 - 11 PM. The event will include live music, community awards, raffles and appetizers! 

Tickets are available at the Youth Center and on our website here. Tickets are $30 each and come with a FREE flight of beer! We would appreciate and be so grateful for your support to make this event a success by considering attending, donating, and/or contributing a raffle prize. All proceeds of the event go towards the free physical fitness and educational programs of the Center. To thank you for your contribution we will publicly recognize your business/organization at the event, in our monthly newsletter, social media and the newspapers. 

We would like to thank the following individuals and/or companies who have made a donation towards the event this month: Neighborhood Home Improvement, Ciccone Plumbing and Heating, Brian Murray Law Office and the Seaver, Morais and the Fernandes families. We would like to thank Walsh Brother Inc. for donating two luxury box Red Sox tickets and CornholeTG for donating a custom made corn hole set to raffle off at the event! Finally, thank you to everyone who has purchased a ticket! 

Fundraisers like this, help staff continue to work towards our mission, which 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. By providing Milford youth with 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 promote the partnership among community members to ensure a comprehensive vision and plan for the health of the youth in the town of Milford. We have now been in our renovated facility for almost two years and have seen the attendance, programs and events flourish! We have over 500 registered After School members for this school year alone, and the number continues to grow each day.  We see hundreds more throughout the week through our additional programs and rentals.

If you need additional information, please call the Center at 508-473-1756. Thank you in advance for your contribution. 

Our MYC Kid's Play Group is growing each week!  This is a children's play group for parents and/or guardians to bring their kids to play, craft and socialize! The groups will run everything Tuesday afternoon from 12:30 pm to 2:00 PM .

Each session will include activities such as circle time, free play, crafts, snack, story time and clean up! There is a requested donation of $5 per family per session, so the MYC can continue and expand groups and programming. Come on down and bring your child to run and play while adults socialize and meet other families in the community!  

The Milford Youth Center will continue to be open from 9 AM to 10:30 AM on Tuesdays and Thursday mornings for Milford residents to use the gym for walking(weather permitting).  For March the Center will be open during these hours on the following dates (we have coffee too!):
