POLICE ACTIVITIES LEAGUE (PAL)

EMPOWERING TOMORROW'S LEADERS...TODAY!

What does PAL do for our youth?
The Salinas Police Activities League prides itself on providing FREE programs, events, and activities for the youth within the city of Salinas. Our primary focus is on social, cultural, recreational, and educational programs, events, and activities that will grow along with participants. Many programs are coached or chaperoned by committed police officers who believe in the philosophy that to build a better future for Salinas you have to start with the youth.

Impact on the Community
Early evaluations during the launching of this program have shown promising results. We anticipate participating youth demonstrating improved behavior, academic performance, and stronger connections to their community. Families of participants have also praised the initiative for offering hope and guidance during challenging times.

Who makes this happen?
Salinas Police Officers and community members are at the heart of the organization. Some of our volunteers have been with us for over a decade and are still passionate about helping our kids. Many volunteers are former PAL kids themselves!
