Meet Us
Our History
The Milton Community Youth Coalition (MCYC) is a non-profit organization right here in Milton, committed to the young people here in our community, helping guide them in making empowering, healthy choices in their lives and providing them with countless opportunities to show the world who they are and who they can become.
In this changing world, it is more important than ever that we carry out our mission to foster a community that values youth by reaching out to, educating, and supporting families in making positive, healthy, and substance free choices.
The MCYC began as a small community based organization in 1997, under the fiscal agency of the Milton Family Community Center. With initial funding from the Vermont Department of Health through the original New Directions program (created by then Governor Howard Dean). This group of concerned citizens came together to support a teen based program that provided alternative activities and supported substance free choices. The Milton Community Youth Coalition went through a number of transitions over the next 8 years and then in 2008 the MCYC became its own formal non-profit organization.
We are excited about the growth and development that our community coalition has made in empowering our community to work together to support healthy, substance free choices for our teens and their families.
