The Police Athletic/Activities League of Montgomery (MPAL) is a 501(c)(3) youth-serving nonprofit that enriches the lives of children by creating positive relationships between law enforcement officers and the youth of our community through education, athletics, outreach, and teen leadership programs.

Our work to build positive relationships between police officers and kids-through our collaborative partnership with the Montgomery Police Department - sets us apart from other youth-serving organizations in our community. These relationships are transformational for the officers and the kids who participate in our programs, giving our community and kids the opportunity to grow stronger together.

MISSION
The Police Athletic/Activities League, together with MPD and the law enforcement community engages Montgomery’s youth with mentoring, sports, STEM (Science, Technology Engineering and Math), life skills, cultural arts, and other constructive activities that provide alternatives to undesirable behaviors.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
PAL’s philosophy is grounded in the belief that young people’s individual strengths and capabilities can guide them to mature, productive adulthoods with our encouragement and commitment. PAL’s activities are experiential opportunities for young people to expand their horizons and realize their full potential. PAL is committed to training staff in current youth development practices and works towards ensuring that youth have a voice and an opportunity to succeed.
