Pasadena P.A.L. depends on our supporters to help us achieve our goal of providing safe and supervised programs for Pasadena’s youth. While Pasadena P.A.L. continually applies for both private and government grants and other funding sources, without the continued gifts of our dedicated P.A.L. supporters, we would not be able to accomplish our mission.
Thank you to the many P.A.L. supporters that have given gifts or have donated over the years and for those that wish to make a difference by supporting Pasadena P.A.L. and all that we stand for.
The program is based on the conviction that young people - if they are reached early enough - can develop strong, positive attitudes towards police officers and the law. Our program is year round and is designed to give community children a safe program to attend after school and during the summer. Through our partnerships with other community-based organizations, the Pasadena Police Activities League offers various programs that will give each member an opportunity to learn new and exciting things as well as meet new friends.
The Pasadena PAL Board of Directors are volunteers, comprised of an energetic and compassionate cross section of the community. Their drive to make PAL a positive and impactful youth program is essential to the success and sustainability of the program. It is with the commitment and support of this esteemed group that we have been able to reach more than 3 thousand students through the program.
Through the PAL mentoring program, we have seen in members' GPA that utilizes the homework assistance through the school year.
Since its inception, more than 3,000 youth have benefited from the Pasadena PAL Center Program.
An average of 85 students participate daily in the after school program, with an average of 110 members enrolled in the summer program.
Pasadena Police Activities League (P.A.L.) firmly believes that all youth are assets to our community and serve as the future generation. P.A.L.'s programs and activities are used as a vehicle to help youth in our community develop skills that build self-esteem and encourage them to reach their full potential.

PAL is proud to partner with the Pasadena Community Foundation who has been a huge supporter of our mission. the Pasadena Community Foundation is a tax-exempt public charity created by and for the people of Pasadena. Their six areas of interest are arts and culture, education, environment, health, human services (with a focus on seniors), and youth.
Funding is provided through various fundraisers and in-kind donations from business owners and private citizens. Individual giving from generous donors is the cornerstone of our organization. We could not do it without you & every little bit helps!
Right now our main goal is to secure a permanent location that PAL can call home. With over 200 kids on a waiting list for the program, it is vital that we have our own facility. If you have any information on a space that may be of use, please contact us here. Below are also more ways to help out.
Our most recent event was the annual Pasadena PAL 2021 Golf Classic. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming events!
If your child is between the ages of 9 and 17, we would love to have him or her become a member of our program.
We can't express how vital your support is to PAL. We appreciate your donation of any amount you are able to give.
