PAL helps make community engagement happen. We serve as a conduit between law enforcement agencies, schools, community organizations, and corporate support to positively impact more youth in Massachusetts.
Through the generosity of the PAL Board of Directors, private foundations and public donations, we empower law enforcement agencies to build strong relationships in their communities.
We work directly with our partners to help deliver programs that emphasize positive youth development and address high risk situations youth may confront, such as truancy, alienation, bullying, juvenile delinquency, victimization, and gang involvement. PAL initiatives work to promote social skills through activities that create connection, belonging and confidence, while fostering positive mentor relationships with the police.
PAL sponsored programs positively impact the lives of thousands of vulnerable youth, families and seniors each year. PAL programs operate in Boston and other gateway communities throughout the State. For more information on how to become a Strategic Partner please Contact Us
