Mentoring is at the heart of everything we do at PAL. Across all programs, caring mentors build trusting relationships that support youth in confidence, decision-making, and resilience – helping every child feel seen, supported, and capable of success.
Located at 52 Ash Street, PAL's Youth Safe Haven provides free afterschool, summer, and vacation programming for more than 300 youth each year. Participants enjoy mentoring, homework help, family support services, basketball, leadership opportunities through Community Leaders, enrichment activities, field trips, and a safe place to learn, grow, and connect.
PAL Youth Sports offers affordable opportunities for youth to stay active, build confidence, and develop teamwork skills in a supportive environment. Programs include football, cheerleading, basketball, boxing, street hockey, cross country, and track & field, all led by caring coaches who serve as positive role models and mentors.
PAL's Juvenile Court Diversion Program provides youth and families with a restorative approach that focuses on accountability, growth, and positive decision-making. Through individualized support, community connections, and skill-building opportunities, participants work toward a brighter future while avoiding deeper involvement in the justice system.
Youth, ages 12-17, are referred by local police departments, prosecutors, probation officers, or the court system to participate in a structured 4-month program. If your child has a pending criminal charge and you would like them to participate in the Juvenile Court Diversion program, please contact the officer, probation officer, or prosecutor in charge of their case.
