“Form 990, part iii, line 1 organization missiontorrington police activities league inc. (pal) is a 501(c)3 whose mission is to deter violence & encourage over 1,000 kids to stay in school through positive after school and recreational programming in partnership with law enforcement, educators, and community business leaders. By forming strong relationships with these community leaders and enhancing communication with police, we have found stronger increased attachment to the community for these children and their families who because of ethnicity or income have not previously self-identified as such. Our program is successful because our officers and community leaders act as great role models to our pal members as well as beacons of hope for kids who may not have thought higher education in our community was possible or that having a career in our community was possible for them. We highlight especially business leaders who have lived, have been educated in & have worked in our town most of their lives. We take field trips with the kids to show them local companies and businesses to teach the kids about different careers and to bring awareness to what is present and possible in our small town. We also bring these everyday heroes (these community leaders, police officers and educators) into our programs to talk about life skills like finance, values, military service and giving back to the community to challenge and inspire our members. We believe strongly in our mission that by providing these programs and working with over a quarter of our school system, we can seed the future of our area of northwest connecticut for the better.”
