Navigating the Girl World

 

Has your middle school daughter ever been on the giving or receiving end of putdowns, rumors, or other hurtful “drama” between girls? The New Milford Youth Agency is offering a FREE one time workshop for middle school girls on Friday May 18th from 2:30-4:30 at the Maxx in downtown New Milford. Girls can come to learn practical tools for dealing with conflict, and creating more positive experiences with other girls. The Women’s Center of Danbury will facilitate this interactive program along with YA counselors. Youth Agency bus transportation is provided from SMS to the Maxx- but there are limited seats! Snacks will be provided, and parents can pickup at the Maxx at 4:30. Registration is required; contact the YA @ (860) 354-0047 or email Laura@youthagency.org.

Police & Youth Community Enrichment Project

Attention High School Age Teens:

The New Milford Youth & Police Community Enrichment Project is beginning on Monday April 30th from 2:30-5:30pm at the Maxx.  This grant funded project will provide local High School aged youth the opportunity to socialize with members of the police force at the town’s local teen center (the Maxx), where together they will have pool tournaments, ping pong tournaments, watch movies, and play video games together.  During these sessions, Police Officers will recruit 8-10 youth for a follow-up Enrichment team.  This team will participate in a High Ropes leadership training, go on Hikes, as well as work with local Police Officers on the construction of a new fishing dock at Sega Meadows park, which was newly acquired by the Town of New Milford.  Spots will be limited for the Enrichment Team.

For more information on the project please contact Kevin at:
