First Find Yourself Friday a Success!

The Milford Youth Center and JAG Youth Council hosted a "Find Yourself Friday" Youth event on Friday, September 27th from 6:30-9:00 PM at the Milford Youth Center. The event included over 100 youth and they enjoyed music, dancing, snacks, a jumpy, a movie, a Photobooth, raffle prizes, and games!

For the fourth year in a row the JAG Youth Council and the Milford Youth Center collected gently used or new sneakers to be sent over and handed out volunteers in December for youth in need in the Dominican Republic. Participants also made Arts & Crafts to be sent over as a Holiday gift. The Youth in the DR will return the favor and make Arts & Crafts for youth in Milford! We are still collecting gently used or new sneakers to be sent over. You may drop it off anytime during the After School program, Monday - Friday from 2-6 PM.

We would like to thank the volunteers who helped make the event a success, including the Dunbar family, Alison Julian, Jenny Gonzalez, Sandy Caproni, Jack Ward, Milford High School CARE and all the JAG Youth Council members! We would also like Pizza Palace for donating raffle prizes towards "Find Yourself Fridays" and Hannafords of Milford for supporting our Find Yourself Friday events with donations of snacks and drinks!
