The MYC is happy to announce February’s Life Skills program, Family & Friends CPR. Ron Auger, a retired Milford firefighter and a Massachusetts & Nationally registered EMT since 1980 will conduct this class as a long-time volunteer of the Youth Center. The MYC relies on Ron’s expertise and commitment to CPR and first aid training to certify our staff. Ron teaches by the American Heart Association standards and has for over 40 years along with first-hand experience in the EMS field. Family & Friends CPR is for people who want to learn CPR but do not need a CPR course completion card to meet a job requirement. This course is ideal for community groups, new parents, grandparents, babysitters, and others interested in learning how to save a life. The program will run for about 90 minutes to two hours. This is a huge asset for all ages and that is why we encourage your child, who must be a current after-school registered member of the Youth Center. We have limited space, so please contact Joanna Abrantes, the Program Coordinator at jabrantes@milfordma.gov or at 508-473-1756. Upon completion, your child will receive a coupon for a free Slurpee!

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. Only students registered by 1PM each day will be allowed to attend (10 am on vacation weeks). 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!

New Monthly Gratification Post!

Thank you Hockomock Area YMCA!


This month’s gratification post is to the Hockomock Area YMCA! Each month we thank an individual, business and/or organization who supports our efforts but this month we would like to extend an extra thank you to the entire team at the YMCA!

The YMCA has partnered with the Center for years on fitness programming, grants, food security initiatives including grab N’ Go, free breakfast and lunch over summer and free snack and dinners during school year, remote learning over COVID and this past summer allowing our summer camp program free access to their indoor pool twice a week while Fino Pool was being renovated as well as lake access! Most recently, the YMCA has partnered with us to also give out Thanksgiving meal kits with gift cards to our families in need, offer a monthly Mobile Food Pantry for our after-school members as well as plan our first annual MYC Golf Tournament! Those are just some of the ways the YMCA has shown their support and shared their resources with us over the years!

Thank you to the Hockomock Area YMCA!
