"At PAL, we are one family made up of Philadelphia Police officers and non-profit civilian staff, who are all working to enrich the lives of Philadelphia youth. With former PAL kids currently occupying four leadership roles and over a dozen civilian and officer roles, we are proud to be a direct representation of the work we do in the community.

PAL is grateful for our partnership with the Philadelphia Police Department, which allows all the PAL centers to have on-duty Police officers overseeing the center programs, while mentoring and guiding children to take advantage of every opportunity to become future leaders."

— April Thomas-Jones, Executive Director
