Programs
Fun, Safe, and Free
PAL IS PROACTIVE POLICING EPITOMIZED!
PAL programs help reduce crime in our neighborhoods, promote positive character development, and improve educational outcomes for Philadelphia’s children. Each of our centers provides a safe place and a positive environment for “kids to be kids,” while also being introduced to a multitude of free activities and experiences to which they might not otherwise have access. While learning how to play chess or table tennis, preparing for an exam, or competing in academic or athletic competitions, the relationships forged between Philadelphia children and the Philadelphia Police are special, and a critical component to the future of our city.
All Programs Are Free!
Listed below are many of the programs available at PAL. Programs vary from center to center so we invite you to stop in and visit your local PAL Officer to see what programs are offered in your neighborhood.
