This fall, the demand for our free after-school and evening programs for underserved youth is skyrocketing. There are waiting lists in many of our programs.
We need your help to help kids who need it most. Please consider a donation that will give kids in the urban core the mentoring and support they need for a chance for a better, safer life.
The PAL relies on private funds to keep our programs free for more than a thousand disadvantaged kids in the urban core.
Your gift will change your life as much as it changes our kids'!
At the PAL, we provide children ages 8-18 with after-school programs, all at no cost. Our programs are designed to provide the social and community support they need to improve their health and well-being. Police officers and adult mentors help kids develop new skills and interests that help them build confidence and positive relationships in the community while steering clear of the influences of crime and gang violence. Our programs are working to improve the community.
This year, more than a thousand at-risk children in Kansas City, KS will escape the hardships and pressures of young life and find a place where they learn healthy new skills, connect with mentors and learn the value of serving the community. In short, they find a place -- the PAL -- where they belong. Learn what they're accomplishing at the PAL.
PROGRAMS
The PAL's free programs are designed to provide disadvantaged youth with opportunities to explore activities outside the limits of their neighborhoods. Our programs stretch their minds and bodies, under the guidance of police officers and trained instructors. Kids learn about fitness, safety and service while they're at the PAL. They also offer service to the community as they learn valuable new skills that will help them enter the workforce prepared with better people and practical skills.
SUPPORT
The KCK PAL has become an oasis of calm, healthy activity and learning for kids in the urban core. By connecting with police officers and adult mentors, kids are overcoming teen pressures, gang influences and family trauma to find respite and hope at the PAL for a brighter future. You can help by volunteering, serving a group dinner, sponsoring or donating to support our growing operations. And see for yourself how, together, we can steer kids away from crime and toward productive futures.
