Comcast grant will fund new youth council in Milford

"Comcast grant will fund new youth council in Milford," by Danielle Ameden, The Milford Daily News

Local kids have the chance to boost their leadership skills, participate in civic life and make a direct positive impact on their community, thanks to $25,000 grant from the Comcast Foundation.

Comcast, the nation’s leading provider of entertainment, information and communications, awarded the grant to SCI Social Capital Inc. to bring their youth council program to Milford and create a new opportunity for children between the ages of 12 and 18.

Kids selected as members of the council will administer an annual mini-grant program that will fund community projects proposed by other Milford youth through the Juvenile Advocacy Group (JAG).
