About this organization
Mission
Torrington Police Activities League (PAL) is a 501c3 whose mission is to deter violence & encourage over 1000 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, been educated in & have worked in our town most of their lives. We take field trips with the kids to show
About
After School ProgramsOur Afterschool Programs grew to consistent daily offerings in four schools four days aweek, providing parents and teachers with a valuable resource. We found marked differences in kids as a result of operating the After school Program, PAL Scholars, in these schools. Please visit our website for testimonials and for success stories at www.torringtonpal.org. Due to the large visibility of our growing after school presence, our other programs also grew and began to work in tandem for the betterment of our members. In fact we found that by growing our after school program we know were able to touch kids more consistently and frequently with better results. For example, if a student was enrolled in after school, we encouraged them to also enroll in our rec programs. With practices, games and afterschool, we began mentoring kids with the volunteer help of police and community leaders 3-5 times a week. We worked closely with teachers to follow up on kids going through tough behavior or family issues to encourage them to do well in the classroom through their participation with PAL. They simply didn't want to miss out on learning or the fun to be had in after school which helped educators and parents give these kids goals to shoot for at home or in the classroom.
