Welcome to Hollenbeck PAL
Our ultimate goal is a community without crime, where children have equal access to opportunity, and where peace officers help drive the community’s vitality.
Hollenbeck PAL was founded in 1992 through the efforts of Hollenbeck Division of the Los Angeles Police Department and community residents to implement sports activities to high-risk youths in response to the juvenile crime increase in the area. In 2003 PAL acquired its own 501(c)(3) non-profit status and is now governed by a board of directors comprised of community leaders, law enforcement personnel, and business professionals.
Through a partnership with the Los Angeles Police Department, to prepare and empower underserved and underprivileged youths to lead responsible, productive and fulfilling lives
