Youth

We are proud to provide support and services that help youth feel engaged, valued and like an integral part of our community.  

The Town of Milton is engaging in a variety of youth related initiatives to implement the findings from the #MiltonYouth Final Report.  The report, which was finalized in June of 2018, celebrates what youth say about Milton and provides opportunities for everyone to better understand how youth engage with our community.
