Vision
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.
History
Hollenbeck PAL was founded in 1992 through the efforts of the Hollenbeck Division of the LAPD 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 comprising of community leaders, law enforcement personnel, and business professionals.
Commitment to community policing
Hollenbeck PAL provides safe places throughout the community where children recreate and learn safely during non-school hours while providing meaningful, structured activities that are economically accessible (most services are free) to every child in the service area.
