The Youth Center would like to extend a very appreciative thank you to the following:

Milford Family Dental for their Silver Sponsorship donation of $250 for our Fall Appreciation Event!

While the town of Milford pays the salaries of three full-time staff members, utilities and maintenance expenses, we rely on fundraising to pay for all other expenses including additional staff and programming, amounting to over $75,000 per year! That’s why our fundraising, and YOUR contribution, is so important. By attending, making a donation, and/or contributing a raffle prize, you help ensure we have the supplies, additional staffing and physical fitness/educational programming needed to keep the Center going. In addition, your contribution will help fund annual scholarships for Milford High School graduates who attended, volunteered and/or worked at the Center!

By providing Milford youth with a safe environment during after-school hours and through monthly events, we hope to address adolescent risk factors and promote a partnership among community members that help ensure the health and safety of local youth. We have been in our renovated facility for over six years and have over 500+ registered After School members for this school year alone. That number continues to grow each day.  We know we are making a difference in the lives of Milford youth; we just need your help to ensure that impact continues.

We would like to thank everyone who donated raffles prizes! If you would like to become a sponsor for this event, through our Annual Appeal Campaign, click here!
