MILFORD, CT ~ One of the 100 Best Communities for Young People http://www.americaspromise.org/100Best.aspx?id=968 Milford was named one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People, in part, because of its emphasis on teaching "life skills" to all youth. Each high school has a "life skills" program to prepare students for "the rea1-world". Junior Achievement offers a career development program in many of the schools partially funded by Milford's Promise, the United Way, Rotary Club, and local businesses as well as our state legislative delegation. These programs are based on life-skills such as understanding your community, successful resume writing and interviewing skills. The YMCA and Milford's Promise have also implemented after-school programs based on the principles of team building and respect, skills that are integral to future success. Milford was also recognized for its growing Youth Network, which fosters communication and partnerships along the youth servicing agencies in Milford.
