How can a Youth Join the Police Athletic League?
Any child, male or female, between the ages of 6 years and 18 years of age can
participate at the Police Athletic League. All that is required is a willingness
to participate.
What is the Police Athletic League?
The Police Athletic League is a youth activities program run by Police Officers
of the Hollywood Police Department and a volunteer Board of Directors for the
purpose of...
-
Preventing juvenile crime and drug use.
-
To provide positive role models for our youth.
-
To develop discipline, self esteem and positive moral values through wholesome
competition.
-
To create better relations through Communication between Law Enforcement
Officers and the youth of our community.
Why Do Kids Need the Police Athletic League?
Some youth in our community grow up with no positive contact with Police
Officers. The lack of positive contact breeds distrust and fear. Negative
influences in some parts of the community are having more impact on our youth
than the positive influences. P.A.L. provides positive role models for our youth
and a drug free, safe place and atmosphere for youth to play and learn. P.A.L.
can turn a loser with no self-esteem into a winner with pride.
The Police Athletic League Involves the Community:
The Police Athletic League is
a cooperative effort of the Hollywood Police Department, community volunteers,
businesses leaders and citizens. P.A.L. is funded by public contributions that
go directly to the youth at P.A.L. Money raised at P.A.L. goes to funding first
rate programs and to purchase and maintain equipment used by P.A.L. members.
Donations enable community youth to participate in Police supervised activities.
How can you Help the P.A.L.?
P.A.L. is looking for adult
volunteers to coach, tutor and assist our P.A.L. staff. You may also assist
P.A.L financially by making a contribution.
