Police Athletic League (PAL)

Launched in 2017, the Kalamazoo PAL program allows youth to see police officers in a new light – not as adversaries, but as positive role models.

A part of the Kalamazoo PAL program will incorporate a personal growth session each week for the participating youth. Some of the topics that will be discussed include personal accountability, time management, the importance of an education and several other topics.

Kalamazoo PAL serves both boys and girls ages 5-12.

PAL Critical Conversation

Youth are invited to engage in discussions centered around social justice, the role of police in the community, and creative solutions to policing issues we face in the community.
