Commitment to PAL

The Police Activities League of SW Washington is a non-profit organization focused on youth development that collaborates with law enforcement agencies to enhance community engagement. By building positive relationships between youth and law enforcement, PAL aims to reduce juvenile crime rates in Southwest Washington by empowering young people to make responsible life choices. Through year-round programs and special events, the Police Activities League offers children opportunities that foster teamwork, encourage citizenship, and allow them to work alongside law enforcement officers and caring adult mentors.

PAL is dedicated to fulfilling our mission through the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We strongly condemn discrimination in any form. Our families come from diverse backgrounds, and as we engage with our community, we do so with a growth mindset focused on youth development. While we may not have all the answers, we commit to learning and evolving alongside those we serve. Furthermore, we believe that a diverse board and staff, reflecting the demographics of the students in our programs, adds significant value to our community engagement efforts.
