About PAL

What is PAL

The Police Activities League (PAL) is one of the oldest citizen-building youth programs in the nation and is designed to support these vulnerable, at-risk youth. Vacaville PAL fosters a positive relationship between law enforcement officers and the youth in our community through a variety of fun and rewarding activities. Police officers, as well as other adult staff and volunteers, have the opportunity to be trusted mentors that assist children with guidance, setting goals, and enjoying new life opportunities.

Vacaville PAL offers free or low cost programs for youth ages 7-18 that focus on enriching their lives and broadening their experiences. We provide fun and educational activities that include everything from boxing and judo to going to the movies or taking day trips, such as, to the Exploratorium in San Francisco. The recreational component of PAL encourages socialization which builds self-esteem and a sense of community, while the enrichment component of PAL fosters human development and cultural unity through exploration. PAL members also have the opportunity to apply for scholarships to participate in many classes and programs offered by the Vacaville Community Services Department.

Our Mission

Vacaville PAL strives to provide alternative activities to delinquency and build a common bond between youth, and the community.

In addition, we continue to function collaboratively with components of the City of Vacaville and outside agencies to promote responsibility, accountability, and community involvement.
