Welcome to California PAL

Welcome to the California PAL website. We hope that you will take a look to learn about how California PAL is serving at-risk youth from communities all throughout the state. Thanks to your continuing support, California PAL is able to bring together "Cops and Kids" with our athletic, educational and enriching youth programs. Thank you for visiting our website and thank you again for your support!

CALPAL Supporter Update

On May 29, 2009 a press release was issued by the California Attorney General concerning legal actions taken against a number of telemarketing companies and nonprofit organizations that solicit funds for various fire, police and veterans associations.  These actions have been brought against 5 specific nonprofits;  California PAL is not one of those organizations being prosecuted, nor is any consultant or individual we contract with.

Since 1971, California Police Activities League has been helping kids.  Kids have benefited from a unique participation with local law enforcement officers, paid staff and volunteers who manage and provide our programs.  Through this “Cops & Kids” connection, California PAL and local PAL chapter personnel are role models for youth.  We serve as coaches, tutors, mentors, chaperones and program managers. For 38 years, CALPAL’s mission has been effectively integrated into local law enforcement and community initiatives, which now include 125 local California PAL chapters. 

For further information concerning the charities in question and the Attorney General’s press release, see:  http://ag.ca.gov/newsalerts/release.php?id=1746.
